The Straits Times said that the main problem of the channel was "an image problem". Facing the potential for increase, Buenaventura had noticed that selected "highbrow" programming had surpassed 100,000 viewers. Among them, The Silk Road, Civilisation, Vietnam and Heart of the Dragon. Buenaventura stated that the channel's primary philosophy of providing "alternative programming" hadn't changed since the outset of the channel, and was trying to make the channel "more entertaining". British sitcoms were added to Channel 12 in late 1985, and the feature films seen on the service were starting to diversify, by adding thriller mini-series and later classic films on Saturdays.
578:. Sandra Buenaventura, CEO of TV12, said that the two channels were "like a tin of assorted biscuits", reflecting the individual nature of the specialist programming of the new services. The launch of Prime 12 meant that Malay programming was increased to 20.5 hours a week instead of 15 hours, while Tamil programming received 16 hours a week instead of 10 hours when they were on Channel 8. Malay news was moved to 8 p.m. while the newly relocated Tamil newscast now aired at a "higher-profile" 7:30 p.m. and expanded to 30 minutes in like matter as the former. The channel would also air the European art-house films slot Cinematheque on Wednesday nights and self-improvement and lifestyle programmes for four hours on weekdays.
566:; Channel 12 was assigned to its subsidiary Singapore Television Twelve (TV12). The Singapore Broadcasting Authority allocated $ 40 million per annum of money to TV12 to provide 45 out of the 60 hours a week of public service broadcasting, with 19 hours for arts, sports and culture programming, 15 for Malay programming and 11 for Indian-language programming (majority being in Tamil). The rest of the hours was funded by TV12. Channel 12's advertising revenue had increased since the privatization, as it had been perceived as a highbrow channel with fewer viewers. 40% of the revenue came from its sports programmes as they were unable to operate with solely arts programming.

national population. SBC wasn't deeply worried about the channel's limited schedule and viewers. The average number of viewers rounded at around 20,000. Advertising was limited to two commercials on some nights and none on most nights. An SBC spokesman assured that
Channel 12 was "a long-term project", with its viewership growing depending on the rising interest of the local population in the types of programming it was going to offer.

viewership would increase from 35,000 to 50,000 from
Tuesdays to Thursdays, when the slots dedicated to sporting events would air. In addition, the channel advanced its opening time to 7:30pm.

Faced by low viewing figures, concerns had emerged that
Channel 12 had an "elitist" outlook, as a small proportion of Singapore's population regularly watched the channel. From a Straits Times survey conducted in late 1985, out of 1,008 viewers, only one percent watched the channel during prime time,

The idea for SBC 12 stemmed from the buying of 100 hours worth of documentaries from the Reiner Moritz
Productions catalog, which Sandra Buenaventura thought would take "a long time" to air them all in the slots available at the time. These would also be shown late at night, considered to be "a waste

A survey conducted by ACNielsen in 1996 revealed that 90% of the Malay population watched Malay programmes on Prime 12 in one month, with 40% tuned in to the channel between 8 and 10 p.m. In 1997, Prime 12 aired

However, the programming on offer was of little to no interest to the Singaporean viewers. Reception was mixed. Some did praise the channel's qualities, others criticized the channel for its content being either "much too European" or "monotonous", which in the latter case alienated 75% of the

By 1996, Prime 12 began to air Malay programmes commissioned by production houses, including profiles of Malay personalities, a morning chat show, variety shows and two drama series. Over six companies made bids for Malay programmes in 1996, rising to fourteen in 1997.

In February 1991, SBC 12 began airing simulcasts of CNN, airing Mondays to Fridays and sponsored by several companies. From 10 June 1991, it only aired twice a day for an hour at 7 am and 7 pm until 1992, when the subscription channel NewsVision was set to launch.

ratings for such airings were at an average of 2%, as they were targeted at the Japanese community; nevertheless, these dramas attracted local viewers as well, calling them "a refreshing change" to the Western dramas.
