News at 6:30 |
News At Seven-Thirty (Chinese: 七點半新聞報道; Jyutping: cat1 dim2 bun3 san1 man4 bou3 dou6, also known as News At 7:30), is the flagship evening news program of the Hong Kong television channel TVB Pearl. It is presented in English, and is broadcast daily at 07:30 PM.
History[edit]
News at 7:30 was launched on 19 November 1967, and is one of the longest running newscasts in Hong Kong, alongside News at 6:30 on its sister channel, TVB Jade.[citation needed]
In the wake of the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests, several of the show's principal anchors resigned in protest of TVB's handling of the protests, and in fear of increasing government censorship.[1] These included long-time anchors Chris Lincoln, Sonya Artero, Tony Sabine, and James Aitken.
