The episode "Discussion and Discussion" of Radio Hong Kong's program was deleted from the June 4th long-distance race.

The management claimed that the involved personnel added without consent. The Hong Kong and Taiwan trade union retorted that the production team fully complied with the requirements and submitted it to the management for approval after editing, but the management did not review the relevant footage.

Guan said again today (30th) that the "one group" team is responsible for this episode and the three previously selected programs, and the other teams are in line with the new mechanism.

It is understood that "a group" refers to the public affairs group, one of the three major groups of the Television Department.

Hong Kong and Taiwan Trade Union: Management never asked to review Roller footage

The "Discussion and Discussion" aired on May 21st added a June 4th long-distance running segment at the end. Hong Kong and Taiwan deleted the relevant links in the review version and the online version because the production team added unapproved segments.

The Radio Television Hong Kong Program Producers Union pointed out on Facebook yesterday that the relevant clip belongs to the program Roller, which is used to broadcast the list of participating producers. The selection of materials from the important news events of the week is the consistent practice of "Discussion" over the years and is not a matter of management. The side refers to "add and play".

The labor union also stated that since Director Li Baiquan took office, the "Discussion and Discussion" team has fully complied with the requirements of the management. At the production festival, the outline of the story and the list of interviewees are submitted, and the film requested by the management will be submitted after the editing is completed. The program was only broadcast after approval by the management; and in the past two months or so, the management has never asked to review the Roller footage, criticizing the management for saying "without the approval of the editorial board" and "deviating from the editorial management mechanism", which is puzzling and deviates from the facts.

RTHK stated that all 4 programs involved in the incident were "sponsored by a team of one group"

RTHK responded today that since the introduction of the new editorial management mechanism in March this year, most of the RTHK production teams have professionally acted in accordance with the new editorial management mechanism, including submitting detailed suggestions to the editorial board on controversial programs. The book and finished products are completely sent to the editorial board for consideration, and the mechanism generally operates smoothly.

Guan said that "facts speak louder than words." After the introduction of the new mechanism, different production teams have produced thousands of hours of programs. Only three programs have been produced earlier than March because they are not objective and impartial. In principle, the links that were set up before airing and the above episode of "Discussion and Discussion" was deleted without the approval of the editorial board, the relevant programs are all under the responsibility of "a group of teams."

The only time Li Baiquan (middle) was interviewed by the media was the day when he took office on March 1 this year. After that, he attended the Legislative Council meeting and the May Fourth flag raising ceremony and refused to respond to questions.

RTHK also emphasized that the rest of the programs produced by other teams are in compliance with the "RTHK Charter" ("Charter") and "Code of Practice for Programme Producers" and the requirements of the editorial board. The management sincerely appreciates the efforts to ensure that the programs comply with the "Chart" ", the "Code" and the production team required by the editorial board.

The latest episode of "Discussion and Discussion" was supervised by the former director of Chinese TV station He Chongen and produced by an external team.

The trade union said that the program was hosted by three pro-organizationalists, who expressed their opinions during the discussion session, and questioned whether they could achieve the same level as written in the "Hong Kong and Taiwan Charter."

The Hong Kong and Taiwan press release did not respond to the allegations.
