History
The company was launched in January 2010. HKTVE applied for an over-the-air license for PCCW Limited, which was formally approved by the Hong Kong government on 1 April 2015, coinciding with the announcement that ATV's over-the-air license was revoked on 31 March 2016.[1]
Upon approval, HKTVE planned to launch a Cantonese channel within 12 months and an English channel within two years. The Cantonese service and ATV's replacement, ViuTV, would operate on a 24-hour schedule,[2] while the English channel, ViuTVsix, would operate on a 17-hour schedule. The license was issued for a 12-year term, subject to a mid-term review in 2021.[1][3]
