Sound and television broadcasting services are highly developed in Hong Kong. There are currently three radio stations, namely the Radio Television Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Commercial Broadcasting Co. Ltd. and the Metro Broadcast Corp. Ltd. In television broadcasting, local TV channels are run by seven television companies, i.e. the Television Broadcasts Ltd., the Asia Television Ltd., the Hong Kong Cable Television Ltd., PCCW VOD Ltd., Yes Television (Hong Kong) Ltd., TV Plus (HK) Corp. Ltd. and Galaxy Satellite Broadcasting Ltd.
In the broadcasting market, there is not a moment to be lost. To meet the various needs of the public for entertainment, some television stations and radio stations also provide on-line broadcasting service. In this respect, it is even more necessary for the practitioners to acquire skills in the application of information technology. (Please refer to the section on Information Technology for details.) Moreover, suitably trained and qualified people are much needed for production, public relations, marketing, sales and engineering, etc.
