RTHK Review Update

@ Wed 25 January 2006 7:51 PM HKT by Tom Legg

The Standard this morning carries a partial update to yesterday's post on the RTHK Review and the RTHK Music Awards. (via HK Dave at SimonWorld).

Of course I expect the head of RTHK to speak in support of the station's most popular shows. Could you imagine the morale at RTHK, if Chu Pui-hing had said, "Well it's had a good run, but we're all ready to make whatever changes the Chief Executive wants. Political expedience will be the guiding principle for RTHK from now on."

These questions need to be put to Darth Bowtie and his Chief Hatchetman Hui to find out what specific directives they've given the RTHK Review. Not the same old mealy mouthed generics they've trotted out in the last week, but specifics and follow-up on Darth Bowtie's campaign statements from last Spring.

    HK DaveDear Tom,

    Thanks for the comment with link on Simonworld yesterday. I really enjoyed your previous post! In the Standard today, it seems Michael de Golyer tries his hand, rather successfully, at biting satire on the subject...link to the Standard

    HunterHi.
    Daai tou naam is how we pronounce it at my house. It is true that HK and mainland do pronounce some things differently like gnam for "right" as in that's right - ho gnam, in HK it's "am" w/o the gn sound. Most of my family is originally from canton so i hear the differences a lot.

    Anyways, just leaving a comment and asking a favor. I am living in Chicago now and I used to listen to RTHK from HK every few days and really enjoyed it. It was nice to hear what was going on in HK as well. I really love the place.

    My question is what happened to RTHK? Can you tell me why they are not online anymore? Did they change sites or get blocked by china?

    Thanks, since u are an expat in HK, i figure u should know and can fill us in on the other side of the world. Thanks,
    Hunter

    PS. email me back if u can with the answer, really appreciate it.
