Terrestrial Television

The two commercial stations, Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB) and
Asia Television Limited (ATV), are each licensed to broadcast one
Cantonese and one English-language channel until 2002. During 1997, the
two stations broadcast about 603 hours of programmes each week.
Serialised dramas, entertainment magazines, game contests and variety
specials remained the most popular programmes.

Both stations are required to broadcast programmes produced by the
publicly-funded Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK), which produces
about 10 hours of programmes weekly to supplement the commercial TV
stations' output.
