Hong Kong Stories

Life After DAB (40x3)

:

In the past 90 years, many people have grown up with radio programmes. A radio may be small, but broadcasting is big. Digital audio broadcasting (DAB) was just a flash in the pan in Hong Kong between 2011 and 2017. Simon HEUNG has worked in a radio station and was responsible for conducting trials for digital broadcasting. TAI Kin-man and IP Sai-hung are also pioneers of DAB: Mr. TAI started to conduct trials for DAB in the 90’s and Mr. IP was Head/DAB of a radio station. What memories do the 3 of them have for the merely 7 years of DAB? While the Government was launching DAB, Radio Television Hong Kong was introducing the Community Involvement Broadcasting Service, hoping that the public community can participate in the airwaves. Little Master, Hei and Pauleen come from different communities and they participate in the project. They voice their opinion in person and bring more different voices to the airwaves. Although DAB has come to an end, the voice of the community will never stop.
