TVB Not Competiting in the 'Asia Rainbow TV Awards'

Nicknamed the "Asian Emmy's," the first annual Asia Rainbow TV Awards will be held on March 22, 2011. Television programmes from 13 countries and districts will be competing 24 awards on the award ceremony.

The nomination list is out and only programmes of RTHK and ATV will be representing Hong Kong. Hong Kong's popular TV station TVB didn't submit any programme to compete. As for this, TVB expressed time is too tight and they had a hard time picking out their dramas; therefore, they decided not to participate.

Korean drama "Bad Guy" received 6 nominations, including Best Actor and Best Actress in a Modern Drama. Taiwan's "Hi My Sweetheart" is the only Taiwan representative. ATV's Miss Asia 2009" and "Asian Million Star" are competing in the category of entertainment programme. Pakho Chau and Ella Koon from Hong Kong are competing Best Actor and Actress in a Comedy with other actors, including Taiwan's Show Luo and Rainie Yang.
