WASHINGTON, June 24,
2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- CGTN America releases "CMG
to launch new channels in HKSAR to mark 25th anniversary of
Hong Kong return"
The China Media Group (CMG) will celebrate the 25th anniversary
of Hong Kong's return to
China by launching new TV and
radio channels in the Hong Kong Special Administration Region
(HKSAR).
China Global Television Network (CGTN) will debut its
documentary channel on July 1. That
same day, Radio The Greater Bay will also air its inaugural
broadcast at FM 102.8. Both are CMG networks.
CMG President Shen Haixiong joined Chief Executive of Hong Kong
Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Carrie Lam to commemorate the occasion. Lam said
the two channels will help residents of the Greater Bay connect
with their fellow citizens on the mainland. Recent statistics show
the Greater Bay Area population exceeding 86 million people. The
area's combined economic output approached 1.7 trillion U.S. dollars.
Shen said CMG's TV and radio channels will help communicate
national policies and development strategies, but also enhance
regional coverage. Together, the two channel's storytelling will
help integrate regional and national cultures, while preserving
their distinctiveness. Shen said it was essential to "shine a light
on Hong Kong stories" to extol the
region's charms as well as "traditional Chinese culture."
Both officials underscored China's commitment to the principle of "One
Country, Two Systems."
Joining Lam and Shen at the CMG launch event in Beijing, were the deputy director of
China's National Radio and
Television Administration, Le Yucheng, deputy director of the
Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office
of the State Council, Wang Linggui, Director of the Publicity
Department of the Central Committee of the CPC, and deputy director
of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the
HKSAR, Lu Xinning.
Lu said she believes the channels will help mainlanders and
Hong Kong residents "find common
emotional memories."
