ATV Home (Hong Kong) Final Closedown/Sign Off & RTHK 31A Launch (April 1, 2016) [MULTIPLE POVs]

This is my first time making a Multiple POVs video for a TV channel final closedown/shutdown, something similar to ‪@Colorbar1‬ and ‪@Clasiku‬ . This video is about the Final Closedown of ATV Home, which was replaced by RTHK 31A on its analogue feed. ATV Home (亞洲電視本港台) was a free-to-air Cantonese television channel in Hong Kong, owned and operated by Asia Television. It was formed in September 1963 as a result of the split of the bilingual Rediffusion Television subscription service (which was primarily owned by British company Rediffusion) into dedicated Cantonese and English-language services. Facing heavy competition from its free-to-air competitor TVB Jade, a change in ownership in 2010 and an attempt to cut back on dramas in favour of more current affairs, news, and talk programming resulted in further financial losses and internal conflicts.[1] Owing to ATV's deterioration and other issues, on 31 March 2015 ATV's over-the-air broadcasting license was revoked effective 2 April 2016; the channel signed off shortly before midnight on 1 April 2016, and was replaced on analogue transmission by RTHK TV 31. The final program aired by ATV Home was a repeat of a special celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Miss Asia Pageant. Although a public relations manager stated that ATV was planning to broadcast one more edition of the Miss Asia Pageant before ATV's shutdown, former producer Wingo Ng stated that ATV did not have enough money and staff to produce such a programme. ATV's channels signed off shortly before midnight local time on 1 April. RTHK TV 31 and TV 33 (CGTN Documentary) began broadcasting on ATV's analogue channels shortly after midnight on 2 April 2016. HKTVE also soft-launched its new digital channel, ViuTV, ahead of its formal launch on 6 April. Sorry if this video was kind of lazy, and some of the videos are not so clear and very small, but I'll keep improving this kind of videos in the future.
