中日關係緊張 香港電台停播動畫《工作細胞》
As relations between China and Japan grow increasingly tense, China has taken various measures to boycott Japan. These include suspending the release of the anime film “Crayon Shin-chan: Super Magnificent! Scorching Kasukabe Dancers” and the live-action film “Cells at Work!”, adapted from a manga. Meanwhile, Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) has also amended its programme schedule, replacing the time slot originally allocated to the second season of the anime “Cells at Work!” with other programmes.
中日兩國關係愈趨緊張，中方對日採取多種抵制措施，包括日本動畫《蠟筆小新：超華麗！灼熱的春日部舞者》及漫畫改編的真人版電影《工作細胞》，均因此暫緩上映。與此同時，香港電台（簡稱港台）也修改節目表，在原定播放動畫《工作細胞》第二季的時段，改為播放其他節目。

港台再下架｜「下架令」期滿 八大學圖書館逾萬館藏節目下架
Kap Zi Se reported in the middle of last month that Radio Television Hong Kong had asked universities to remove television programmes from their library holdings. The Education University of Hong Kong issued a notice to staff and students saying that RTHK programmes had to be “fully removed” by 5 November. The “removal order” expired today (4 November). Reporters examined and compared library catalogue search records from mid-October and today, finding that several publicly funded universities had originally held nearly 10,000 video items, most of which have now been removed. Only about 50 to 180 video holdings remain at each institution, most of them programmes sponsored by government departments or public bodies.
Kap Zi Se contacted several institutions for comment. The Chinese University of Hong Kong replied on the 5th that it “would not comment on matters relating to individual library holdings”; the other institutions had yet to respond.
《集誌社》上月中曾報道，香港電台要求各大學下架圖書館館藏電視節目，其中教育大學向師生發通告，指須於 11 月 5 日前「全面下架」港台節目。「下架令」今日（4日）期滿，記者翻查和比對，各大學圖書館於 10 月中和今日的館藏搜尋紀錄，發現多間受資助大學原有近一萬項影像館藏，現大多數已下架，僅餘下約 50 至 180 項不等的影像館藏，當中大多數為獲政府部門或公營機構贊助的節目。
《集誌社》向多間院校查詢，中大 5 日回覆「不會對圖書館個別館藏相關事宜作出評論」，其餘院校仍候回覆。

港台再下架｜教大發「下架通告」、浸大未能收看、港大館藏「消失」 港台：現沒為機構提供版權豁免
Two years ago, The Collective reported that RTHK’s Podcast One website had removed some programmes, including Headliner and Police Magazine, and had selectively taken down content relating to June 4 and police enforcement. Two years later, the removal campaign has spread further to the holdings of several university libraries. The Education University of Hong Kong recently issued a notice to staff and students stating that, at RTHK’s request, RTHK television programmes in its holdings would be progressively removed and would be “completely removed” by 5 November. The small number of programmes searchable at Hong Kong Baptist University can no longer be viewed, while all the media images in the University of Hong Kong’s digital collections have “disappeared”.
Hong Kong Baptist University said in response to enquiries that its holdings were provided under licences from copyright holders and that, “when the licensing agreement is terminated”, the materials must be removed in accordance with the agreement. It suggested that reporters contact the “relevant copyright holder” for details. In its reply, RTHK did not deny asking universities to remove programmes from their holdings. It also said that its current policy provides programmes from the past 12 months for public catch-up viewing and that it is “currently not providing any institution with a copyright exemption”.
《集誌社》兩年前曾報道，香港電台 Podcast One 網頁下架部分節目如《頭條新聞》、《警訊》等，並選擇性下架部分涉六四、警方執法等節目內容。兩年後，下架潮進一步蔓延至多間大學圖書館的館藏。教育大學日前向師生發通告，指根據港台要求，館藏港台電視節目將逐步下架、須於 11 月 5 日前「全面下架」；浸會大學能搜尋到的少量節目現已未能觀看，至於香港大學數碼典藏的傳媒影像則全數「消失」。
浸大回覆查詢指館藏由版權持有者授權提供，「當授權協議終止」須按協議將資料移除，建議記者向「相關版權持有者」了解。港台回覆時未有否認要求大學下架館藏節目，又指現行政策提供過往 12 個月節目供市民重溫，「現時沒有為任何機構提供版權豁免」。

回歸 28 周年︱港台將播14集《平「語」近人》 闡述「習近平喜歡的典故」
Several principal officials said in earlier media interviews that “soft resistance” had emerged in Hong Kong. In interviews with several media outlets, Secretary for Justice Paul Lam Ting-kwok agreed that “soft resistance” had no clear definition, but said it would be assessed according to three elements: means, motive and risk. These include whether statements were false or misleading, whether they lacked an objective and rational basis, and the motives and purposes behind the conduct—in particular, whether it arose from a misunderstanding of, and created a negative impression of, government or national policies.
多名司局長早前接受傳媒訪問，均表示本港出現「軟對抗」。律政司司長林定國接受多間媒體訪問時，同意「軟對抗」沒有清晰定義，但會以三大要素，即手段、動機及風險判斷，包括是否虛假陳述或具有誤導性的表述、缺乏客觀理性基礎，及考慮其行為動機與目的，即是否從政府或國家政策等產生錯誤理解和負面印象。

頭條新聞｜工會歷 52 個月挑戰通訊局 《頭條》侮警等三指控獲平反 曾志豪：遲來的正義
An episode of RTHK’s Headliner broadcast in February 2020 was complained against for defaming and insulting the police. The Communications Authority ruled that the programme had breached the Television Programme Code (the “Code”) and issued a warning. The RTHK staff union and the Hong Kong Journalists Association, disagreeing with the decision, sought a judicial review. In 2021, the High Court’s Court of First Instance ruled that part of the review was successful but upheld the decision concerning the alleged insult to the police. Both sides subsequently appealed against the parts on which they had lost. In written reasons handed down by the Court of Appeal on Wednesday (the 4th), the court dismissed the Communications Authority’s appeal and, by a 2:1 majority, ruled that the complaint of insulting the police was not established. In other words, 52 months after the warning was issued, all complaints concerning Headliner had been ruled unsubstantiated, and the Court of Appeal ordered the Communications Authority to withdraw the warning.
港台節目《頭條新聞》2020 年 2 月一集節目，被投訴污衊和侮辱警方，通訊局裁定節目違反《電視節目守則》（下稱《守則》發出警告。港台工會及記協不服，提出司法覆核，高院原訟庭在 2021 年裁定部分覆核得直、但維持涉辱警決定。雙方其後再就敗訴部分上訴，上訴庭周三（4日）頒下書面判詞，駁回通訊局上訴，另以 2:1 裁定辱警投訴不成立。換言之，由被警告至今歷 52 個月，涉《頭條》的投訴全被裁不成立，上訴庭令通訊局撤銷警告。

《頭條新聞》被指辱警違守則 港台工會部分上訴得直 上訴庭下令撤銷通訊局警告
In 2020, the Communications Authority ruled that the “The Shameless Official” and “Frightening News” segments of RTHK’s Headliner defamed and insulted the police, and issued RTHK a warning. The programme was subsequently taken off the air. The Hong Kong Journalists Association and the RTHK Staff Union sought a judicial review of the decision and won partly in the High Court in 2021. The Communications Authority, the RTHK Staff Union and the Journalists Association subsequently appealed against the parts of the judgment they had lost.
In a judgment handed down on Wednesday (the 4th), the Court of Appeal unanimously dismissed the Communications Authority’s appeal and upheld the original ruling that “The Shameless Official” did not breach the Television Programme Code. The Staff Union and Journalists Association’s appeal concerning “Frightening News” was allowed, and the Court of Appeal ordered the Communications Authority’s warning to be withdrawn.
On whether host Wong Hei’s appearance in “Frightening News”—wearing a police uniform, wrapped in a rubbish bag and emerging from a bin—constituted an insult to the police and breached the Code, the three judges expressed differing views. Chief Justice Andrew Cheung said that although satirical works should have greater freedom of expression, there remained “a threshold of propriety that even satirical works cannot cross”. The other two judges considered that if the content targeted the police’s anti-pandemic work, rather than merely their social standing, it should not be regarded as breaching the Code. The Staff Union’s appeal was ultimately allowed by a majority.
The Communications Authority said in response to enquiries that it would study the judgment with its legal advisers before deciding on its next steps. The Journalists Association said in a statement that it noted the court had overturned all of the Communications Authority’s rulings concerning the relevant episodes of Headliner, belatedly vindicating the RTHK production team. However, Headliner had already been taken off the air more than four years earlier, one month after the warning was issued. Regarding the ruling that the two organisations could not mount a constitutional challenge over an infringement of freedom of expression, the Journalists Association and the RTHK Staff Union said they respected the court’s decision and would not appeal the case to the Court of Final Appeal.
通訊事務管理局於 2020 年裁定港台《頭條新聞》內的「無品芝麻官」及「驚方訊息」環節，屬污衊、侮辱警方，並向港台發出警告，節目隨後停播。記協與港台工會提司法覆核挑戰決定，2021 年獲高院裁定部分勝訴。通訊局、港台工會與記協其後各就敗訴部分提上訴。
上訴庭周三（4 日）頒下判詞，一致駁回通訊局上訴，維持原審裁決，即「無品芝麻官」環節並無違反《電視節目守則》；工會、記協一方就「驚方訊息」提出的上訴，則獲判勝訴，上訴庭下令撤銷通訊局的警告。
就主持王喜在「驚方消息」中穿著警服、包著垃圾袋，從垃圾桶冒出，3 名法官對於是否構成辱警、違反《守則》各有意見。首席法官潘兆初認為，雖然諷刺作品在表達上應有更大自由度，但仍有「一條連諷刺作品都無法逾越的體統底線」。另外兩名法官則認為，若內容是針對警察的抗疫工作，非單純針對他們的社會地位，不應被視為違反《守則》，最終以大比數裁定工會一方上訴得直。
通訊局回覆查詢指，會與法律顧問研究判詞，再決定下一步行動。記協發聲明指，留意到通訊局就《頭條新聞》相關集數的裁決，已被法院全部推翻，還港台製作團隊遲來的公道，但《頭條新聞》於 4 年多前、收警告後一個月已停播。至於判決指兩間組織不能就言論自由受損作出違憲挑戰，記協與港台工會指尊重法庭裁決，不會將案件上訴至終審法院。

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」。

港台下架｜網頁清洗逾三千集節目 六四、尊子相關內容「被消失」
The final episode of RTHK’s *Headliner* was broadcast on 19 June 2020. For the past three years, the programme remained available for replay on RTHK’s Podcast One website, but it has recently been removed in its entirety.
The Collective found that RTHK had recently deleted programmes archived on the Podcast One website for years. At least 3,200 episodes were removed, including all episodes of five programmes such as *Headliner*, *City Forum* and *Police Magazine*, with not a single episode remaining. In addition, at least 655 episodes from six programmes, including *Hong Kong Connection* and RTHK Talk Show, were selectively removed. The topics involved content related to June 4, Zun Zi, Audrey Eu and police enforcement.
Several RTHK sources confirmed that the removals occurred intensively over the past three months, but no one explained the reason. The Collective asked RTHK whether the programmes had been “taken down”, when and by whom the decision was made, and why. RTHK only said it would “not comment on arrangements for individual programmes or projects”.
2020 年 6 月 19 日，香港電台《頭條新聞》播出最後一集；過去三年，節目仍能在港台 Podcast One 網頁重溫，惟近期已全數下架。
《集誌社》發現，港台近期刪除 Podcast One 網頁備存多年的節目，最少有 3200 集節目下架，包括《頭條新聞》、《城市論壇》、《警訊》等五個節目，一集不留、全數下架。此外，《鏗鏘集》、《五夜講場》等六個節目，最少有 655 集被選擇性下架，題材涉及六四、尊子、吳靄儀、警方執法等相關內容。
多個港台消息確認，下架事件在最近三個月密集發生，無人解釋原因。 《集誌社》向港台查詢，節目是否「被下架」、何時及由誰決定、原因為何？港台僅指「對個別節目或項目安排不作評論」。

港台刪除港漫資料庫「純粹繪作」
Urban sketch artist Pang Pei said in a post on his Facebook page that Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) had deleted the database webpage “Original Space – Purely Drawn Works” (hereinafter “Purely Drawn Works”), which records Hong Kong comics and illustrations. It contains works by more than 210 comic artists and illustrators, including Zunzi, Pen So, Lau Kwong-shing and Kam Siu-man. A reporter checked the website using the Wayback Machine and found that it was still available last December.
城巿速寫畫家彭啤在Facebook專頁貼文，指《香港電台》刪除紀錄香港漫畫、插畫的資料庫網頁「原創空間－純粹繪作」（下稱「純粹繪作」），涉及逾210個漫畫家、插畫家的作品，包括尊子、Pen So、柳廣成、甘小文等。記者以Wayback Machine翻查該網站，去年12月仍存在。

六四報道巨幅表揚信 掛牆港台34年被除下
The Department of Justice argued that the lower court had failed to consider the social circumstances at the time of the incident, and that the young man must have intended to injure someone. It asked for the case to be remitted to the lower court for reconsideration. The defence, however, said he might have used an object to “ward off” the attack, and that an intention to cause injury was not the only reasonable inference. After hearing submissions from both sides, Judge Cheung Wai-ling said she considered that the trial magistrate had made an error and was inclined to remit the case for reconsideration. She will hand down her judgment on a date to be fixed.
律政司一方認為，原審沒有考慮案發時社會環境，認為青年當時必然有傷人意圖，希望可發還案件予原審重新考慮。但答辯方指，他可能用物品「擋」開攻擊，意圖傷人並非唯一合理推論。法官張慧玲聽畢雙方陳詞，表明認為原審裁判官有犯錯，傾向發還予原審重新考慮，將擇日頒下判詞。
