Each year, RTHK produces around 570 hours of television programmes which are shown by free commercial television stations. These programmes are also webcast on www.rthk.org.hk and broadcast in different pay television channels. With the launch of Digital Terrestrial Television from 31 December 2007, RTHK will keep pace with the technological advancement and explore more outlets for transmission of RTHK productions within the Standard Definition and High Definition platforms to further enhance our audience reach.

• provide necessary technical support and produce programmes related to the Olympic Torch Relay, Equestrian Events, Olympic and Paralympic related events;
• produce programmes on the 2008 Legislative Council Election;
