HK Television Entertainment


HK Television Entertainment Company Limited is a television service operator in Hong Kong, owned by Hong Kong billionaire Richard Li's PCCW. It operates through its subsidiary PCCW Media, which also owns the IPTV platform Now TV and runs the OTT service Viu.

History

The company was launched in January 2010. HKTVE applied for an over-the-air license for PCCW Limited, which was formally approved by the Hong Kong government on 1 April 2015, coinciding with the announcement that ATV's over-the-air license was revoked on 31 March 2016.
Upon approval, HKTVE planned to launch a Cantonese channel within 12 months and an English channel within two years. The Cantonese service and ATV's replacement, ViuTV, would operate on a 24-hour schedule, while the English channel, ViuTVsix, would operate on a 17-hour schedule. The license was issued for a 12-year term, subject to a mid-term review in 2021.
