Ditched RTHK radio host Robert Chow Yung called on the broadcaster to show more respect for its staff.
Chow was speaking on his last day as a co-host of morning phone-in programme Talkabout.
'It [RTHK] might think that it's already been nice to you as it provides you a platform to speak, but that's not the case,' he said after finishing his show on the programme he has helped host for 12 years. 'What we want is respect [from the management]. By giving this, the people holding power would gain more support from the public.'
Chow and another popular host, Ng Chi-sum, were told last month their contracts would not be renewed. Ng said earlier he was puzzled by the decision as it came without warning.
The hosts learned their fate at a lunch with senior management.
The station's assistant director, Tai Keen-man, said their services would not be needed when major changes were introduced to programming next year. Chow said he had no plans to host a radio programme in the near future.
