Do Hong Kong people only see a TV station? !

Speaking of the TV of Hong Kong with the friend from two sides, I say: On two sides and three places, Hong Kong people choose TV programme at least, quite a few of audiences only watch the programs of a TV station; No matter the friends of Taiwan or hinterlands, all feel inconceivable to this. I tell them whether Hong Kong to have freedom of the press, TV propagate TV is too much to restrain from, local wireless TV, cable TV, online TV and satellite TV can all follow relevant regulations to manage, totally free in receiving even more, as two sides have restriction in various degree.

Why did audience of Hong Kong only see a TV station? The friend of two sides is puzzled.

The poor stratum of Hong Kong, noisier and crowdedder Tang Lou's people in the public house or environment live, they get used to watching the free TV, the only wireless TV; Two television stations of Hong Kong offer two free channels, including Cantonese and the English one respectively, among them have the most televiewer in Hong Kong with the wireless TV emerald platform where Cantonese broadcast, though without accurate statistics, people all know, in Hong Kong, most family's main amusement, watch the program of the emerald platform. This has already become a kind of inertia, like a lot of people favour in the stock of Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Corporation, or this is a kind of collective memory. Hong Kong has been said to be the highest city of the internationalized intensity of Asia all the time, there is no fault in this. The art festival of Hong Kong, film festival, levels are all very high, though audiences have not many, but the market of the high art is like this, the developed country is the same.

But, most residents of an international city, how can only see a television channel, why? The Hongkong government has not limited, but does not encourage people to watch the plural cable TV either, the government regards cable TV as a kind of market behavior, middle class or the rich can watch the satellite TV, cable TV, the poor free without being had TV can think with.

In hinterland and Taiwan, charges of the cable TV are all very cheap, the channel that the audience can watch is numerous. The inland cable TV is publicly-owned, there is a favour in policy, the government does not totally treat it as commerce; Taiwan accords with relevant laws since 1993, it is private to open cable TV, there are a lot of operators, the competition is very fierce. Coverage rate of the inland city and Taiwan cable TV is all very high

There are 4 cable TV stations in all now in Hong Kong, all audiences account for half the Hong Kong population, that is to say, among 7 million people of Hong Kong, half of person only watches the free wireless TV, and the number of people not quite clear is mainly that teenagers watch the online TV. No matter compared with two sides, or compared with other developed areas of the world, the proportions of people that Hong Kong watches the cable TV are on the low side, totally unbecoming with the developed society of Hong Kong, status of international city. Half the Hong Kong residents only watch the emerald one, TV information and amusement that they receive are single, certainly this will influence their visual field, influence their delight. The Hong Kong people of the poor stratum become " Hong Kong is brilliant " ,Have some relations with it, too single because of their information and amusement resource, their own idea is outmoded too, in fact the expenses of over one hundred yuan of one month, the family of the lower floor can afford in the majority, the only little last time teahouse, there are many new choices on televisions in the family, but they think that it should to watch TV be free. Non-performance and some people's ignorance of the government, have caused Hong Kong people to only see the programs of a TV station, and this kind of situation will not change, just as the Hong Kong society in many aspects so the step is proclaimed oneself, there is no dash, has not wished the scene either.
