Abstract

This paper identifies four main characteristics of Islamic television programs. They are reality and objectivity, comprehensiveness, moderation and application of Islamic distinctive features. A questionnaire was distributed to the broadcasters of Al-Hijrah Television to determine their perception on the characteristics of applying the aforementioned characteristics to their programs. Programs of Al-Hijrah Television were also observed to further investigate the application of the characteristics to Al-Hijrah Television programs. The main finding of this paper is that despite the satisfaction of Al-Hijrah Television broadcasters, the application of the four characteristics to Islamic television programs does not suffice the need of the audience. It was also found out that drama programs are more effective than traditional programs in delivering the Islamic message despite the rarity of Islamic drama.

 

Keywords: characteristics, programs, Islamic television, Al-Hijrah Television.

         

 

Abstrak

Kajian ini mengenal pasti empat ciri utama program televisyen Islam. Antaranya adalah realiti dan objektiviti, komprehensif, kesederhanaan dan ciri-ciri Islam yang tersendiri. Satu borang soal selidik telah diedarkan kepada semua penyiar Al-Hijrah untuk menentukan persepsi mereka terhadap penggunaan ciri-ciri tersebut ke atas program mereka. Program - program Al-Hijrah juga telah dipantau untuk diteliti lebih lanjut lagi dalam mengaplikasikan ciri-ciri tersebut. Walaupun dapatan kajian ini dapat memberi kepuasan kepada semua penyiar Al-Hijrah, namun penggunaan empat ciri tersebut untuk program - program televisyen Islam masih tidak memenuhi kehendak penonton. Kajian mendapati bahawa program - program drama lebih berkesan berbanding program - program tradisional dalam menyampaikan mesej Islam walaupun kurangnya drama versi Islam.

 

Kata kunci:  ciri-ciri, program, televisyen Islamik, Televisyen Al-Hijrah.
