* * *
RADIO TELEVISION HONG KONG PROGRAMMES WILL BE SHOWN ON ATV-HOME DURING PRIME TIME ON SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS AND ON TVB-JADE BETWEEN 7 PM AND 7.30 PM FROM MONDAY TO FRIDAY FROM OCTOBER.
THIS ARRANGEMENT WILL ВЕ ROTATED BETWEEN THE TWO STATIONS EVERY 12 MONTHS.
AT PRESENT, RTHK PROGRAMMES ARE SHOWN ON BOTH STATIONS FROM MONDAY TO FRIDAY DURING PRIME TIME.
WHEN THE ARRANGEMENT WAS REVIEWED BY RTHK EARLY THIS YEAR, BOTH STATIONS ASKED FOR THE 7 PM то 7.30 PM SLOT. SINCE A SATISFACTORY SOLUTION ACCEPTABLE TO ALL PARTIES COULD NOT BE FOUND, GUIDANCE FROM THE BROADCASTING AUTHORITY (BA) WAS SOUGHT.
"HAVING TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT THE VIEWS OF THE STATIONS AND RTHK, THE BA CONSIDERED THAT IT WOULD NOT BE IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST FOR RTHK PROGRAMMES TO BE SCREENED IN PARALLEL BY THE TWO STATIONS ON WEEKDAYS, AND THAT IT WOULD BE MORE CONVENIENT FOR VIEWERS FOR RTHK PROGRAMMES TO BE SHOWN THROUGHOUT THE WEEK, A SPOKESMAN FOR THE BA SAID TODAY (WEDNESDAY).
་་
"THE BA THEREFORE DECIDED THAT RTHK PROGRAMMES SHOULD BE SHOWN BETWEEN 7 PM AND 7.30 PM FROM MONDAY TO FRIDAY BY ONE STATION AND FOR TWO AND A HALF HOURS DURING THE PERIOD BETWEEN 7 PM AND 10.30 PM ON SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS BY THE OTHER STATION."
THE NEW ARRANGEMENT WILL START IN OCTOBER THIS YEAR AND WILL BE ROTATED BETWEEN THE TWO STATIONS EVERY 12 MONTHS.
TO BE FAIR TO BOTH STATIONS, THE BA ALLOCATION OF THE TWO TIME SLOTS SHOULD BE DRAWING OF LOTS.
ALSO DECIDED THAT THE DETERMINED THROUGH THE
THE RESULT OF THE CASTING OF LOTS WAS THAT TVB WOULD SCREEN RTHK PROGRAMMES BETWEEN 7 PM AND 7.30 PM ON WEEKDAYS AND ATV WOULD SCREEN AN AGGREGATE OF TWO AND A HALF HOURS OF RTHK PROGRAMMES PER WEEK BETWEEN 7 PM AND 10.30 PM ON SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS.
