But government broadcaster RTHK is demanding an apology and might take legal action over comments he made during his Commercial Radio programme that the news division was not objective in its reporting.

Mr Cheng, on his Storm in a Teacup show, had criticised a report on a Democrat legislator's lambasting of the commercial sponsorship frenzy surrounding Lee Lai-shan.

When RTHK executive producer Monica Wong Tak-yee then called in to defend the reputation of the broadcaster, Mr Cheng launched into a tirade.

'You are not impartial. Your station's principle is to speak for the Government,' he said.
