Phoenix TV Hong Kong’s old program schedule shows that a large number of outsourced drama series were originally scheduled to be broadcast next Monday, with a total duration of nearly 18 hours.

Researchers highlight that Phoenix TV is effective in cultural debate programs

It is good for cultural and discussion programs, but not. focus on drama. There are many popular online chat channels. However, free viewers are generally older, so it is difficult to estimate whether Phoenix TV Hong Kong’s programs suit audience taste. “The Hong Kong market will respond.” Audiences, hot topics and advertisements will be known following launch. “I believe that the terms of the TV channel’s programs will also be adjusted based on audience feedback.
As for Hong Kong’s main programs in Mandarin, Chen Zhijie believes that the language policy of free TV should not be interpreted in terms of a single channel. As an international city, Hong Kong has Cantonese, Mandarin and English channels that can be understood. All channels still mainly broadcast Cantonese programs.
