New HK channel
 

If you're into HK dramas and are fed up with TVB, check out HKTV. It's a new network that will be rolling out once gov't approves them. They are currently airing their dramas on YouTube.

Check out the trailers:
Episode 1 for the police drama was intense as fk:

Looks real promising. After so many years of complaining about TVB's almost comical re-cycling of filming style and story-telling cliches this looks super refreshing.

Latest rumor has it that the licences will not be granted until 2015 when TVB and ATV's Free-to-air licences are also up for renewal.

i dont think there'll be much change in that regard but here's hoping ;)


surprised TVB isn't forcing all their actors to be dubbed in the HKTV shows

ooooh S13 with TE's doing le drifto at 4:00 :smug:

they have some nice veteran actors..

Just finished watching the first episode and it was awesome!

Please post up the second episode when it hits. I can't read chinese :okay:

its been a long time and no 2nd ep... WTF...

Watched their film reel of all their upcoming drama. Amazing production!

Just watched it, must say pretty good

This definitely looks promising! :fullofwin:

all those actors are signed to HKTV already. They no longer have anything to do with TVB.

TVB actually lost a lot of employees in the last 2 year.

wow didnt think it was that bad for tvb i remember hearing about them losing a few actors to mainland networks etc but didnt think it was a major issue

first episode was amazing...any clue when the next one will come out? hopefully not 2015...

tvb treats their employee like shit. Although I grew up watching tvb drama, i'm glad these hard working people have a more than once choice now.

TVB are cheap asses! So many great actors/actresses have left from TVB.

Ep. 2 will not be released until they get their licence.

yeah i know that i just didnt think that many had left since atv was always an option but they were hard pressed to get any of the tvb actors

Yeah. Most likely it was a desperate move by HKTV to try and get more audience and fan support so they can officially go on air. As well as to gather more companies to advertise on their channel. If I remember right, HKTV already signed many actors and their budget is running into the negatives.

atv rarely make tv shows anymore all the do is buy, so this pretty leaves them no option

china is actually where all the money is at right now but tvb only lets there actors flim 2 mainland dramas per-year, there also a bunch a restrictions as well

here their current cast list of actors
???? HKTV

holy shit they got a lot of actors i like on board

Ricky Wong claims that he's put all his investments into this bond where it's guaranteeing him an annual ROI that's more than enough to keep the company afloat. You can take that with a grain of salt. If HKTV gets their licence, you can expect more TVB actors and crew members to jumpship immediately.

That episode 1 was really good.....I don't know how people can wait till 2015 for more stuff...

Finally, none of this cheezy Honger TVB shit for once.

Edit:

Who is this girl? :sweetjesus: :fappery:

great episode!
