I hate listening to most Maltese broadcasters, announcers, newscasters on most Maltese TV and radio stations, most especially those who excel in adding the vowel ‘e’ to all words ending in a consonant in any language, be it Maltese or English.

Same with me. I stopped watching anything on it since 10 March 2013, and I have no regrets.

http://www.inewsmalta.com/dart/20140409-kaw-fil-qorti-wara-strip-show-dar-tal-anzjani

The ‘journalists’ even have the patience to translate articles from other sites, make them their own and ‘forget’ to quote the source:

I am sorry but you have to compare like with like. You cannot compare a privately-owned newspaper with a tax-funded national broadcaster.

So compare these with TVM:

http://www.abc.net.au/news/
http://tvnz.co.nz/
http://www.bbc.com/
http://www.rte.ie/
http://www.rai.it/

Now note the difference in levels of professionalism and how the content is of national relevance and of appropriate content.

In English, “dementia” is pronounced roughly like “dimenxa” (written in Maltese orthography), di-ˈmen(t)-shə, -shē-ə as written in phonetic orthography. In Italian, the word is “demenza”.

Why doesn’t PBS use the latter one which is correct Italian and perfectly suited to Maltese phonetics? Does anybody have any interest in correct Maltese and English in this country?

Another grave fault at PBS and all other broadcasting media in Malta is diction. Listen to Italian TV and you understand each and every word.

Are broadcasters made to follow courses in clear diction? No wonder, I prefer satellite tv and only watch Maltese stations for a few minutes a day.

If so, do we realise the conflict of interest?

Be warned the swearing is very offensive but there is no other way to demonstrate the low levels we have descended to.

This is a real track seemingly recorded in Paceville by someone trying to provoke a fight.

If you feel offended by heavy swearing please do not listen to this.
