Service
During the period under review, drama series remained the dominating
programme genre during prime time on the Cantonese channels. Generally,
drama series on ATV were mainly imported from the Mainland and Taiwan
and those on TVB were mostly in-house productions. However, during
the period, both stations also imported a number of Korean drama
series which proved to be quite popular with the local audience.
Apart from drama series, there were a number of popular station-produced
talent shows and quiz cum game shows.
