The carnival was launched by the Deputy Minister at the Prime Minister’s Office, Dato PadukaAwang Haji Abd Wahab bin Juned.

The RTB Media Carnival 2011 is part of RTB’s annual activities, in line with its strategic plan, which sees the carnival being utilised as a platform to expose the public to RTB’s digital TV services and products.

It is also to showcase RTB’s development from an analogue to a digital broadcasting system, while at the same time offering information regarding the new features of its digital services.

Apart from that, the carnival also acts as platform to scout for new talents through auditioning a number of different television roles, such as the role of a TV news anchor, or in the talent search "I Got Talent".
