TVB New Media Group Limited

What TVB New Media Group Limited does

TVB New Media Group Limited (legal name: TVB Limited) is a Hong Kong-headquartered, publicly listed media company (HKEX: 0511.HK) operating since 1967 as one of Hong Kong's dominant free-to-air television broadcasters. The company delivers Cantonese-language content, including original drama productions, news, variety shows, and lifestyle programming, through three broadcast channels — Jade (翡翠台), Pearl (明珠台), and TVB Plus — as well as through its wholly owned streaming subsidiaries myTV SUPER (Hong Kong OTT) and TVB Anywhere (international OTT).

TVB generates revenue through three primary streams: television advertising sold directly to brands via its dedicated TVB 營業部 (Advertising Department), subscription and freemium streaming revenue from myTV SUPER and TVB Anywhere, and programme licensing to external platforms including co-productions with mainland Chinese partners. Its wholly owned subsidiaries span core operations (myTV SUPER, TVB Anywhere, TVB News) and adjacent verticals (TVB Music Group for music and artist management, and 鄰住買/Neigbuy for e-commerce), with a non-profit affiliated entity in the TVB Charity Fund. Distribution spans Hong Kong and overseas Chinese communities across the US, UK, Australia, Singapore, and Malaysia.

The company pursues a sales-led go-to-market motion through direct advertising sales for enterprise clients and self-serve streaming access for individual consumers. Its technology base comprises proprietary digital streaming infrastructure supporting multi-device, multi-market video delivery, anchored by an extensive content library accumulated over decades of Cantonese-language production and a longstanding artist management pipeline.
