NBS Hang Peng
NBS Hang Peng was a television channel operated by the Nashlandian Broadcasting Service when Hang Peng was under Nashlandian control. It broadcast for over twenty years before the handover.
History[edit | edit source]
Although overseas television was not on the priority list for the Nashlandian Broadcasting Service, Rediffusion had the opportunity to open a few television services in a handful of territories. Had the NBS started their own service, it would be considered a fiasco.
Talks on a potential NBS Hang Peng television service emerged in 1967, when TVB started regular transmissions (then known as Wireless Television). Until then, Rediffusion operated a cable service that consisted of two channels (one until 1963): an English service and a Cantonese service. The NBS proceeded to make the television service available through one channel and make it "the de facto public broadcaster of the colony".
