Early planning

At first, most of Shangtai's programs were popular radio dramas and sky novels, among which Wally was the most famous announcer. Because of this, being on stage is more and more popular with the public.

In those days, popular programs included A Man's Diary-Lin Bin and Yin Fangling (later made into a movie, adapted into a script by Yang Puxi and played by Zhang Yingcai). A threesome-Lin Bin and Zhang Qing. A well-off family-Cenxiang, Li Yan, Ying Ding and Wenfeng. Love of Roses-Lin Bin and Yin Fangling. In addition, Revenge, Can't Stop and Block C of Building 18 are all very popular.

My personal stories include Sky Novel-Wally, Ethical Novel-Xiaoxiang, Historical Story-Chen Gong, Women's Lecture-Lin, Children's Program-Why Are You Lonely, Friends-You Lan and so on.

1967, riots broke out in Hong Kong. During the unrest, after the news report at noon, Lin Bin, the host of A Man's Diary, played a short commentary on current affairs. Although the time period is extremely short, it is to the point and makes an incisive exposition of the unrest, which is very popular with the public. Left-wingers hated it and were killed. Host Lin Bin and his cousin Lin Guanghai were set on fire by mobs when He Wentian drove to work. Afterwards, the commercial station played funeral music in memory of Lin Bin, and Block C of Lin Bin's former residence18th floor became the name of one of the commercial station's longevity current affairs radio dramas.

After Lin Bin was killed in Hong Kong, the public had a clear understanding of leftist troublemakers, gradually lost their support and the market began to return to calm. After ten years' hard work, some of the early administrators joined the League and left soon after their retirement age. Or retire early or emigrate overseas. 1990, the channel of Radio Television Hong Kong was reformed, and the commercial channel changed the transmission frequency of its two Cantonese channels. The frequency of commercial channel 1 was changed from AM864 to FM88. 1 (that is, Thunder 88 1 in the future, which mainly focuses on news and information, and the listening rate has always been in the forefront of Hong Kong), and the frequency of commercial channel 2 was changed from AM675 to FM90.3 (that is, in the future), which mainly plays pop music, so it is the most influential electronic media channel among young people in Hong Kong at present. The AM frequency originally used by Commercial One was assigned to Commercial English Channel as a new channel, and AM864 was changed to English as the main broadcasting language to broadcast news and music.

In the1990s, in order to encourage local music creation, commercial radio station 2 (Whip 903) was once designated to play only pop music created in Hong Kong until the mid1990s ... In the1990s, commercial radio stations also produced many talents, such as Lin and Lin, who developed independently later and played an important role in the field of lyrics.

During the period of 1990- 199 1, commercial English station AM864 was sponsored by tobacco company Mild Seven, and it played songs and music continuously for the first time in the middle of the night.

During the period of 1999, the commercial radio station cooperated with Kowloon Bus to install broadcasting facilities on the bus and broadcast commercial channel 2 programs, which had some support, but it was also opposed by some passengers who wanted to keep the train quiet.
