HKTV employees return to TVB
22 Oct – Rumour has it that many HKTV artistes and employees are making their way back to TVB following HKTV's failure to obtain its free-to-air television license.
According to HK Channel website, TVB producer Lee Tim Sing recently admitted that he has been calling some of his former colleagues in HKTV since TVB needs more experienced crew members.
He stated, "I really hope to have my former buddies to return to TVB and help around. It's best to have experienced people in the business."
The producer had a difficult time filming "Bullet Brain" last year, when nearly half of TVB's crew left the company to work in HKTV, leaving him with inexperienced workers.
However, Lee stated that the decision depends on TVB, and added, "TVB offered them a raise but they decided to leave. If they come back, I reckon they will not get the original offer. But they have to understand that."
When asked about his thoughts, HKTV actor Frankie Lam stated while he will not reject the idea of returning to TVB one day, HKTV will always be number one in his heart.
While Al Wei admitted that TVB executives had approached him recently and will consider returning to TVB, Zac Kao stated that he will only return to TVB when he is desperate.
