After just eight months, veteran star and TVB's deputy general manager Eric Tsang has been promoted to general manager of TVB’s content operations.

According to a media release issued yesterday (Sep 27), the 68-year-old’s responsibilities will include creating various types of content including non-drama, co-produced drama, music and the acquisition and curation of programmes. The new role will take immediate effect.

He's proven he deserves to be up there

Eric joined TVB in 1992 and started out as a host before becoming an actor. He was appointed deputy general manager and special adviser to the administrative committee in January.

Since then, he has “successfully reinvigorated [TVB’s] non-drama programmes by broadening content diversity and re-establishing links and cooperation with Hongkong's entertainment industry”, said the media release.

Under his leadership, the station has produced a number of "hit shows" like reality game shows Dub-Of-War and Stars Academy, which captured the "hearts and minds" of audiences.

And thanks to him inviting Jacky Cheung to perform at the recent Miss Hong Kong 2021 finals, the pageant drew approximately 1.8 million viewers.

The broadcaster believes that with his wealth of experience, Eric will continue to strengthen TVB's core competency in content creation.

Perhaps he can turn things around in the drama department

While TVB seems to have scored some success with its variety shows, ratings are still lacklustre in the drama department.

One of its newer dramas, Murder Diary, is now the lowest-rated TVB drama of all time.

it's boring, humourless and at times cheezy in a bad way

older dramas are definitely better

After the appointment of Wong Cho Lam and Eric Tsang, all they have these days are those variety game shows and talk shows recycling the same actors and actresses as guests.

Which is why they promoted him because he managed to turn around their variety shows.

Their big boss is actually from CCP, not impressed with TVB in recent years.

Majority Shareholder, Li Ruigang, Believes TVB Has Hit Rock Bottom

TVB’s growth has not been ideal in recent years, and this is reflected in their stock price which has fallen 70 percent from their highest point in 2017. The released annual financial results showed a net loss of $280 million Chinese yuan for the year, marking it the third consecutive year the company has recorded losses.

TVB majority shareholder and chairman of the executive board, Li Ruigang (黎瑞刚), harshly criticized the station for losing direction in the past 10 years. The media tycoon, who has been nicknamed as China’s Rupert Murdoch due to his extensive experience in Chinese the broadcasting industry, entered his stake in TVB in 2015.

Li points out that everything from the station’s programs, management team, corporate image, and operations are aging. The toxic work culture with cliques and favoritism are hindering the company’s ability to innovate, and suppressing youth and vitality.

Stating that TVB has already hit rock bottom and needs to reform immediately, Li believes that if TVB’s efforts do not improve, the company will fail. As part of the new changes, Eric Tsang (曾志偉) and Wong Cho Lam (王祖藍) were appointed managerial roles to improve programming quality and expand viewership in the Mainland Chinese market.

Believing that TVB bears the responsibility of supporting Hong Kong’s cultural estate, Li heavily criticized the station’s former stalemate with the four largest music companies and banning many singers from appearing on their platform, while only promoting the station’s own contracted singers.

Li also condemned the operations of TVB’s BIG BIG SHOP and other e-commerce ventures. Many friends have given him negative feedback after using the services.  He believes that e-commerce should not be controlled by the station’s media managers, but rather a professional team knowledgeable in e-commerce operations.

Although he has many criticisms for TVB, Li praises the news department for having a fair political stance. He believes that netizens who are negatively targeting TVB’s advertisers are breaking the law, and hopes that authorities will be able to curb their actions.

If you watch their recent variety and talk shows, there are some improvements.

There are more youngsters involved and the topics are quite daring.

There is even a show where strawberry generation discuss all sorts of topics with boomer generation which creates a lot of funny sparks.

Their travel shows are eye pleasing too especially those hosted by Taiwan mei mei and every episode will have them in bikinis biggrin.gif
