The Television and Radio Consultative Scheme (formerly the Television Viewing Advisory Scheme) was introduced in 1982.
Through this scheme, the Office of the Communications Authority is provided with a continuous flow of public opinions on television and radio programming and is kept abreast of the community's perception of the broadcasting standards.
Members join the scheme on a voluntary basis. They are appointed for a three-year period. Members are recruited to form a mix that mirrors the population profile of Hong Kong by age, sex and occupation from different districts in Hong Kong. They will be invited to provide their views on different issues related to broadcasting via mail, email, telephone, etc., or be invited to participate in focus group meetings for in-depth discussions.
The total membership of the scheme is maintained at about 540.
Members of the Television and Radio Consultative Scheme are recruited with reference to the population profile of age, sex and occupation from different districts in Hong Kong. (Click here to view the "TV and Radio Consultative Scheme" publicity leaflet.)
