HONG KONG ANNUAL REPORT, 1952

There are three amplifying stations, two on the Island and one in Kowloon. Each subscriber has a loudspeaker and selector switch installed in the house, and pays a service rental charge of $10 per month and may pay an additional $5 a month for an extra point. Altogether 52,400 loudspeakers have been installed. Two programmes are provided-one in English and one in Chinese and the service operates from 7 a.m. to midnight. The English programme consists mainly of musical items, but the Chinese programme includes plays, stories, concerts and other features originated in the studio and gives regular relays of Cantonese Operas; news bulletins in three dialects are broadcast several times a day.
