The Kedah state government is now offering its own official content broadcast, known as TV Kedah. Through it, it will broadcast several programs, including focusing on official government events, press conferences, documentary productions, creative videos and also people-friendly infographics.

Video platforms have various features designed to enhance our visual and audio experience. For instance, you can speed up YouTube videos to quickly go through them. Now, YouTube Premium users are getting additional enhancements that could prove useful.

Some YouTube channels place recommendations for content to watch at the end of the video. Thankfully, there is a way to bypass this feature. So, what should you know about it?

Content platforms have been investing heavily in AI in 2025. Just last month, YouTube announced new AI tools to enhance the search and recommendation systems for Premium users. But that's not the end just yet, as YouTube has more for all YouTube users.

In the footsteps of Netflix and Disney+, YouTube seems to be stepping up enforcement of its long-standing rule that all members of a Premium Family plan must reside in the same household. While this requirement has existed since at least 2023, it was rarely policed—until now.

YouTube has just rolled out two new AI-driven features designed to help you “dive deeper, learn faster, and find what you’re looking for more easily”. According to sources and the company's blog, this new AI-powered search feature will roll out to YouTube Premium users.

YouTube has updated its monetisation rules to allow creators to use strong language like “f***” within the first seven seconds of a video without losing full ad revenue.

YouTube has announced that it will soon retire its long-standing "Trending" and "Trending Now" tabs. These will be replaced by curated category-based charts and algorithm-powered personalised content feeds.

YouTube will introduce updated monetisation guidelines under the YouTube Partner Program (YPP) starting 15 July 2025. The platform is refining its approach to clarify which types of content are eligible for ad revenue, especially as the use of AI-generated and repetitive content continues to grow.

BFM Radio 89.9 is one of the popular local radio stations that focuses on business and personal content, and is quite popular too. Today, the radio station's YouTube page was hacked and streaming content was posted, similar to many previous incidents on other popular YouTube pages. So, what should you know about it?
