(g) Internet
We established a New Media Unit in October 2000 to explore and
develop multi-media opportunities in the new media arena. A new
"ETV online" internet channel was launched to provide
additional access to school programmes and educational news. RTHK's
cultural archives will be put on a Chinese cultural multi-media
website, initially targeting specific primary student groups. Other
new services to be introduced in 2001 include simplified Chinese
version, alternative streaming for additional access by media player,
and special projects with international institutions. For more details,
please visit our website at http://www.rthk.org.hk.

to the current level of 2 000 000 hits. Around 60% of the
visits were from abroad.
