Appropriate that the #HKTVB Mandarin news is on the foreign-language channel (Pearl). #TV #HK

Thank God Freddy is still part of the weather. Modernized but still recognizable. And now he has a kid. #HKTVB #TV #TVBPearl #天氣先生

Watching #HKTVB live after a gap of 49½ years reminds me of why we sometimes switched over to RTV or the English-language channels. It wasnʼt always good. But what a shame #歡樂今宵 got cancelled 30 years ago. The news-magazine show on at the moment is dull. #EYT #TV

Looks like Iʼve hit the Saturday afternoon cartoons on both #HKTVB Cantonese and gweilo channels. Definitely grown out of these since I last saw them in ʼ76!

Interesting show reviewing books by ethnic authors like Richard Carlson. #HKTVB #TV

Weird seeing the odd Mandarin ad on #HKTVB. Didn’t have these back in ’76. #TV

RIchard Ng’s obit a few years ago on #HKTVB’s US servicec. Actually started his career in the UK where he dropped out of dental school, and an early gig was in 1967 with Olivia Newton-John. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCqQf_4QdkE #吳耀漢 #HK

Last time I watched #HKTVB, they had that fly spray commercial and the line, 'Ah蟲介紹嚟.' Is that still going? #TV

The bittersweet thing about finally getting #HKTVB at home is that #歡樂今宵 was cancelled 32 years ago. Stuff happens when you cannot watch a channel for 50 years due to emigrating. #TV

Quite a few #HK ads on #HKTVB are for OAPs. Which is fair enough considering the size of their population and their disposable income. Not saying OAPs are rolling in it, but I am saying that young people donʼt have much these days. #TV

Now that I can watch #HKTVB again, the prime-time ads are … terrible! I imagine as in so many places, #TV networks are finding it tough.
The TV news is definitely more international.

A TVB broadcast, just as one would see in Hong Kong.

Nice to have this back. Being able to watch #HKTVB at home, live. Last time I could do this was 1976. #TV
