On Thursday’s Backchat, we’re talking about the changing landscape of Hong Kong’s media industry.
Earlier this week, TVB announced it’ll lay off more than 300 people as part of a restructuring plan that'll merge two free-to-air channels to create one that’s more focused on a younger audience.
Hong Kong’s dominant broadcaster said while it would continue investing in prime-time production, it’ll cut budgets for fringe-hour content and axe non-performing programmes.
It added that it expects to save a further HK$100 million in content costs by 2024, having announced HK$260 million in annual cost savings earlier this year.
After 9:45am…we find out more about a new study on the mental health of children and adolescents.
