Hong Kong broadcasting station TVB reportedly made a loss of HK$293mil (RM154mil) in the first half of the year. And due to that, the company will not be giving year-end bonus to all employees, including its stars.

In an open letter to staff on Dec 22, the chief executive of TVB also indicated there won't be pay increase. The chief executive also asked its employees to “join forces to allow the company to tide through this unique year”.
