Hong Kong Embraces New Media Era as Greater Bay Initiatives Launch

Hong Kong is stepping into a new chapter of cultural and economic connectivity with the launch of two landmark media platforms: China Media Group's CGTN Documentary TV channel and “Radio The Greater Bay.” The move coincides with the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to China, marking a symbolic alignment of innovation and tradition.

The initiatives aim to amplify stories from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area, a hub of 70 million residents and a $2 trillion GDP powerhouse. CGTN’s documentary channel will spotlight regional sustainability efforts, tech breakthroughs, and cross-border collaboration, while Radio The Greater Bay targets younger audiences with music, pop culture, and entrepreneurship stories.

“This isn’t just about media — it’s about building bridges,” said a spokesperson for the project. The platforms will leverage Hong Kong’s role as a global financial and cultural nexus, offering content in multiple languages to engage audiences across ASEAN and G20 nations.

Tech enthusiasts note the timing aligns with Hong Kong’s push to become a digital innovation leader, recently allocating $500 million to support local startups. Meanwhile, travelers and creatives anticipate immersive cultural programming showcasing the region’s heritage sites and eco-tourism hotspots.
