Letters | Why I remain loyal to ‘old friend’ TVB
- Many Hongkongers have grown up with TVB, which offers something for everyone
As an average viewer, I was largely unaware of the problems of one of our longest-standing television channels. She has grown up with most of us in Hong Kong. She is like an old friend.
Younger viewers may find her programmes not interactive or progressive enough. As a young-old person, I find them suitably balanced. Cartoons, game shows, Chinese dramas, health and beauty tips, family and business shows, politics, news – you name it, TVB has it. Whether the viewer is a student, a young person, a professional, a worker, a housewife or an elderly person, he or she is bound to find something that is suitable. What more can we ask of a television channel?
Some people find her news and police shows biased, but with the change in the political climate locally, I think that is acceptable, too.

How China’s reform and opening up impacted Hong Kong’s entertainment industry
Li said that TVB has huge business problems. I guess they relate more to behind-the-scene dealings that are beyond the reach of us viewers. But as a dedicated supporter addicted to one channel only, I hope TVB can make improvements, survive the difficult times and continue to thrive, big and strong.
