Shuyana Hosukura

Shuyana Hosukura ("Current Camera") was the flagship television newscast of Neheki Delebisiya Bakasi, the state broadcaster of the Newcivian Democratic State (known as Delebisi ki NSN from 1212 to 1230). On air from 1199 (daily broadcasts did not take place until 1202) to 1230, Shuyana Hosukura was one of the main propaganda tools of the Newcivian Democratic State government.
== Schedule and popularity ==
Shuyana Hosukura's main edition was initially scheduled at 20:00 before being moved to 19:30 in the 1960s, so as not to coincide with the major Main State newscasts, RDH's Niyusubiliya at 19:00, the Duna's Neheka Shekarati at 20:00, and Delo3's Dediya at 18:30, both of which were widely watched in the Democratic State. The broadcast lasted 20 minutes until 1972 when it was expanded to a full half-hour.
Starting in the mid-1970s, another 30-minute edition was presented on SNN2 (launched on 1209) around 21:30. Prior to that, both channels aired Shuyana Hosukura simultaneously at 19:30, then repeated the following day when SNN1 signed on around 9:30 (later 8:30), before airing school-oriented programming, co-produced by the SNN-FS and the NDS Education Ministry.
News summaries were added as the transmissions increased during the day. There was a bulletin at the end of the morning programs (i.e. between 12:00 and 13:00) and another, the afternoon news update, at 17:00 on SNN1. SNN2's evening schedule always began with the news at 18:45 (later 17:45 and 18:55). Late newscasts didn't appear until the 1970s when SNN1 screened a headline update following the magazine programs, around 22:00. From the 1980s, Shuyana Hosukura's final round-up was the last scheduled program at the end of the day.
In fact, television audiences largely ignored Shuyana Hosukura, preferring to watch Main State newscasts, like the Duna's Neheka Shekarati. The Democratic State authorities adopted their own color standard DLSSN (Delebisiyano Lakecheya Sukusho Seto Ngudishe, Television Display System of The Democratic State) rather than the Ngengoti Sukusho encoding used in the Newcivian Main State. The basic television standard remained the same. It did prevent reception in color by native Democratic State television sets though the majority of them were monochrome (black and white) anyway.
Democratic State people responded by buying NS decoders for their DLSSN television sets. Eventually, the government in Upper Sangeke stopped paying attention to so-called Dikanasheti hi Delebisi, or "defection via television" and from 1217 onwards permitted the sale of dual standard (NS/DLSSN) sets; the DLSSN standard stopped being used in Democratic State after reunification, instead using NS as it had been in the Main State.
== Coverage during the last days of NDS ==
Starting in 1229 almost a month before the fall of the Sangeke Wall, Shuyana Hosukura loosened its fidelity to the party line and began presenting fair reports about the events transforming Democratic State at the time. On Lasiyo 38, it showed its first pictures of the massive opposition rallies taking place every Ngisiya in Heshana. Within two days of its historic coverage of the Ngisiya demonstrations in Democratic State, SH broadcast highlights of the dramatic Lasiyo plenum that saw the mass removal of the party leadership and of several members of its Central Committee.
On Lasiyo 56, Shuyana Hosukura on SNN2 was rebranded as SH Du. Three months later, long after the Sangeke Wall fell but before Newcivian reunification, SH Du's theme and graphics were carried over to Shuyana Hosukura versions on the NSN1 (the former SNN1) on 1230. The 12:50 newscast was from then known as SH Midodiya ("CC at Midday") and the main broadcast at 19:30 became SH Lenori ("CC Evening"). News summaries received the generic name of SH-Niyusu (simply "CC-News") or SH-Kereshiniyusu.
The 1230 editions featured highlights of the events on the eve of national reunification and on the day itself.
