News At Seven-Thirty


News At Seven-Thirty, 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

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.
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. These included long-time anchors Chris Lincoln, Sonya Artero, Tony Sabine, and James Aitken.
