History

Since 2 April 2016, TV 31 and TV 33 began simulcast on analogue channel frequencies previously owned by Asia Television (ATV) after ATV's licences were revoked by the government over financial losses and internal conflicts. As a result, RTHK TV 31 expanded its broadcast hours from 6:30AM to 1:30AM the next day.[1][2]

Since 2019, RTHK 31 broadcasts 24 hours a day.

Programming

Some of RTHK's produced programmes aired on commercial networks are also aired on this channel.
