RTHK signs Memorandum of Understanding with Chengdu Radio and Television
The Director of Broadcasting, Ms Angelina Kwan, led a delegation from Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) to visit Chengdu from October 21 to 23. During the visit, RTHK signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Chengdu Radio and Television to prepare to jointly organise the “RTHK Vinyl Pop Up” and other events in Chengdu next year. The collaboration aims to strengthen people-to-people bonds and cultural connections between the two cities, jointly amplify their communication influence, and showcase the cultural soft power of Hong Kong and Chengdu to audiences around the world.
Ms Kwan and the President of Chengdu Radio and Television and Chairman of Chengdu Broadcasting (Group) Corporation, Mr Yang Xiaoyang, signed the MOU yesterday (October 22). The two broadcasters will expand co-operation across a range of areas, including programme content exchanges, talent development and related exchanges, collaboration on new media platforms and the organisation of events. A key initiative will be the introduction of RTHK’s acclaimed signature project, the “RTHK Vinyl Pop Up”, to Chengdu in the second quarter of next year. The event has previously been staged in Hong Kong, Qianhai in Shenzhen, and Shanghai. During the visit, the RTHK delegation also met with senior management of the Chengdu Media Group to exchange views and explore further opportunities for collaboration.
Ms Kwan said that RTHK has long been committed to strengthening ties with media organisations across the Chinese Mainland through broadcasting and cultural exchanges, thereby fostering people-to-people bonds between Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland. RTHK expressed hopes that bringing the “RTHK Vinyl Pop Up” to Chengdu would allow music to serve as a bridge for introducing Hong Kong’s pop culture to a wider Mainland audience, while helping to share the stories of both Hong Kong and Chengdu with the world.
