In this connection, TV Division has started to acquire programmes produced locally and overseas, in addition to its in-house production, to enrich the programming by offering Hong Kong audience other alternatives. A new section “Acquisition Section” was thus formed by TV Division in April 2013 to cater for this purpose. Would the Administration please advise the scheme details, acquisition criteria, distribution of programme genres (in percentage) and the projected hours of output? Asked by: Hon. CHAN Chi-chuen Reply: As the public service broadcaster, Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) aims to inform, educate and entertain the general public through provision of high quality television (TV) programmes that are not adequately provided for by commercial broadcasters. The programmes mainly covered news, education, information, arts and culture, youth, children, the elderly and the underprivileged. In acquiring local and overseas programmes, creativity, production standard, consistency with RTHK’s mission will be taken into account. We expect the acquired programmes to meet the three main objectives of informing, educating and entertaining the local audience and widening their perspectives and choices. In 2014-15, programmes acquired will mainly cover news and information, arts and culture and children’s programmes in areas not adequately met by commercial broadcasters. It is expected that about 247 hours of programmes will be acquired with distribution of programme genres (in percentage) as follows: Public Affairs Programmes 21.9% Specific Target Audience (including the elderly, 8.4% minorities and underprivileged) Youth and Children 17.7% Culture and Arts 24.0% Continuing Education 28.0% Session 12 CEDB(CT) - Page 3 Examination of Estimates of Expenditure 2014-15 Reply Serial No. CEDB(CT)220 CONTROLLING OFFICER’S REPLY (Question Serial No. 4374) Head: (160) Radio Television Hong Kong Subhead (No. & title): (000) Operational Expenses Programme: (4) New Media Controlling Officer: Director of Broadcasting (Roy TANG) Director of Bureau: Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Question (Member Question No. 73): The Administration has stated that it will continue to explore and develop the methodology of producing content through crowd-sourcing, and that users will be involved in the process of producing Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) products by using IP connected devices ad social platforms. It has also indicated that the targeted development for the year will be on smartphones, “wearable computers” and cooperation with YouTube. Will the Administration please give details of such projects? Does the Administration plan to streamline the organisational structure so as to save expenditure? Asked by: Hon. CHAN Chi-chuen Reply: Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) will develop crowd-sourcing content production based mainly on mobile applications and “wearable computers”. In the first pilot project, a mobile application will be rolled out in mid-2014 which will enable smartphone users throughout the world to produce video content with the application and upload their work to the television (TV) programme designated by RTHK. The said TV programme will be broadcast on RTHK TV 31 and RTHK website as its main broadcasting platforms, supplemented by Facebook and YouTube where the programme content will be posted on other websites and social media platform. As crowd-sourcing content production is a new attempt, programme quality and quantity will be subject to great uncertainty. Its influence on RTHK’s organisational structure remains to be seen.
