The following is issued on behalf of the Communications Authority:
The Communications Authority (CA) is inviting views from members of the public on the quality and variety of television programmes provided by the two domestic free television programme service licensees, namely Asia Television Limited (ATV) and Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB).
In the context of the mid-term review of ATV and TVB's licences conducted in 2010, the CA (Note) decided to collect public views on the quality and variety of programmes provided by the licensees on a regular basis. Upon receiving the views, the CA will follow up with the licensees as appropriate such that they may ensure their programmes would meet the expectations of the general public.
Members of the public may submit their views in writing to the CA Secretariat from today (February 18) to April 2 by mail to 39/F, Revenue Tower, 5 Gloucester Road, Wan Chai; by fax to 2507 2219; or by email to views-freetv@ofca.gov.hk.
A summary of the programming and advertising requirements for the licensees and other relevant details are available on the CA website (www.coms-auth.hk/en/note_submission).
Note: The mid-term review was conducted by the former Broadcasting Authority (BA). The CA has taken up the functions of the BA since April 1, 2012.
