Future of HK media landscape / Mental Health survey on children and adolescent
On Thursday’s Backchat, we’re talking about the changing landscape of Hong Kong’s media industry.
Earlier this week, TVB announced it’ll lay off more than 300 people as part of a restructuring plan that'll merge two free-to-air channels to create one that’s more focused on a younger audience.
Hong Kong’s dominant broadcaster said while it would continue investing in prime-time production, it’ll cut budgets for fringe-hour content and axe non-performing programmes.
It added that it expects to save a further HK$100 million in content costs by 2024, having announced HK$260 million in annual cost savings earlier this year.
After 9:45am…we find out more about a new study on the mental health of children and adolescents.

On Wednesday’s Backchat we’re looking at transgender rights in Hong Kong
In a landmark ruling on Monday, the Court of Final Appeal decided that the authorities had breached the rights of two transgender men, by refusing to allow them to use their new gender on their identity cards, because they had not undergone full sex reassignment surgery.
Ruling in the men‘s favour, Hong Kong highest court called this "an unacceptably harsh burden" on them.
The issue was first brought to court in 2019 after the commissioner of registration refused to review the gender status on the pair's identity cards as they had only undergone hormone treatment and had their breasts removed.
So what exactly will this ruling mean for the transgender population here? Will any laws have to be changed as a result?
After 9:15am, we’ll look at the prevalence of young-onset dementia in Hong Kong
