On Monday's programme, we talked about the potential sale of Warner Bros Discovery and its implications on the American entertainment landscape.
Netflix and Paramount Skydance have both made massive offers to acquire the entertainment firm, whose portfolio includes the likes of the Harry Potter, DC Universe and Game of Thrones franchises. The bidding war has seen Paramount making an 11th-hour US$ 108-billion offer to eclipse its competitor's nearly US$83-billion proposal.
After the break, the chief executive of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce talked about their report on business prospects in Hong Kong for the coming year, alongside an academic who discussed the reasons behind the positive outlook.
