Hitz.sg is a three part television program, showcasing the finalist of anugeraHitz.sg. They are the creme of the crop in our local Malay music industry in Singapore, with the diversity in genres of music being shown this is not a program to be missed. Boasting a fresh concept of having a mosh pit with a good looking stage set as well as a marquee rolling out the performers name made it look like an MTV production but this is our own Eaglevision at work. Kudos to them for producing this program.

Staying true to the tradition of iZone.sg, it’s the all about the buzz meaning I’ll give you guys enough to let you feel you need to be home and catch Hitz.sg every episode on Suria *smiles*.
