Hong Kong TV Awards
Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB) ran the 39th Hong Kong Television Awards on November 10. TVB is the first free-to-air (FTA) television broadcaster in Hong Kong, and is now the world's largest commercial Chinese program producer.

The Awards Ceremony was held at TVB City in Tseung Kwan, and the biggest winners of the night were Kevin Chen and Charmaine Sheh. Hitwise Hong Kong data show that Hong Kong internet users have been steadily gravitating towards TVB's website in the lead up to the Awards Ceremony. In the four weeks leading up to the date, www.tvb.com increased its market share in the Entertainment- Television category by 1.02% to peak at 8.85% for the week ending 11th November. Daily data show that the biggest increase of visits was on November 11, when www.tvb.com had almost 12% of the market share of the category.

Hitwise Hong Kong data show that the most visited website before www.tvb.com on the day of the Awards was Yahoo! Hong Kong (hk.yahoo.com), which is an increase of 4.08% in two days.
