RTHK’s diverse sexual-orientation programme “One of Us” to be taken off air in August; veteran host Siu Fai (Prof) Leung: “We got 17 years out of it”
多元性向港台節目《自己人》8月停播 元老主持梁兆輝:賺了17年
Hong Kong’s first cultural programme on diverse sexual orientations, “One of Us”, premiered on RTHK on May 6, 2006, and aired for two hours late every Saturday night. In the early hours of yesterday, veteran host Siu Fai (Prof) Leung announced that they had been notified that the programme, which had been broadcast for 17 years, would be taken off air from August on the grounds of “programme rearrangement”. The programme’s hosts bid farewell to listeners on its social media platform. Siu Fai (Prof) Leung wrote that the day had finally arrived, and that the end of the programme also meant they would temporarily step away from the microphone: “What was worth cherishing ceased to exist long ago; there is no need to deceive oneself.”
香港首個多元性向文化節目《自己人》於港台2006年5月6日首播,逢周六深夜播放兩小時。昨凌晨節目元老主持梁兆輝宣布接到通知,播放17年的《自己人》以「節目調動」為理由,將於8月起被停播。眾節目主持在《自己人》的社交平台向聽眾話別,梁兆輝寫道這一天終於到臨, 節目結束也意味他會暫別咪前,「值得留戀的,早就不存在,不必自欺」。
