In 2006, TVB’s GM Stephen Chan started hosting the show <> for TVB’s pay channel, a core program that has been popular since its inception. With Stephen Chan’s arrest on alleged corruption charges last month, he has been suspended from all TVB-related duties and his program will also be halted. After the pre-recorded last episode of the show (episode #159 with guest May Fung) airs, it will be replaced by a show hosted by the group Big Four (Dicky Cheung, Andy Hui, William So, Edmond Leung) called «Big Four大四喜».

Yesterday, TVB’s Manager of External Affairs Tsang Sing Ming made the announcement about the new program. He expressed that «Big Four大四喜» will be a brand new program; the 4 hosts will start recording the first episode in April and there will be a total of 13 episodes (airing once a week). The format of the show will be interviews with guests as well as a musical component and will start airing in mid-April. The details of the program are still under discussion amongst the production team at TVB, therefore the interview guest for the first episode has not been decided yet.


<> aired total of 159 episodes

The show <> aired its first episode on June 3, 2006 and will end with its last episode (#159) next month. The guest for the first episode was Connie Chan Po-Chu and throughout its 4 year run, over 100 celebrities and famous people have been interviewed, including HK SAR Chief Executive Donald Tsang. In addition, the show has also been distributed worldwide via DVD. Last year, the show drew some criticism from viewers when clips from its interview with artist Gillian Chung (her first official interview responding to the sex photo scandal from previous year) were aired during TVB’s regular news broadcast – audiences criticized the arrangement as ‘inappropriate’ for a news program.

Edmond Hits 48 New + Best Selections (3CD) (Silver Version)

On December 18, 2008, singer Edmond Leung is set to enter a new stage in his life, marrying his girlfriend of many years. Whether this will spell a change in focus for him is still too early to tell, but one thing about his career is certain: he is entering his 20th year in the music industry, so the time is ripe for a new best-of compilation album.
Having emerged from the star-making New Talent singing competition in 1989, he spent over ten years with record label Capital Artists, winning fans with his trademark slow-tempo ballads. After a brief stint at EMI, his career reached a higher plateau after signing with Gold Label. He has continued to put out hits in recent years, even earning himself the designation as one of the "Four New Heavenly Kings" by Pop Principal Alan Tam.

For starters, the album title Edmond Hits 48 is not a reference to his age, but the number of tracks on the three-disc set. The comprehensive collection includes all his most memorable songs over the years, from early favorites like "Don't Want to Be Alone", "Three Wounded Hearts", and "The Man in the Closet", to his more recent hits like "8 Mile" and "The Armada". Also included is the megahit "Seven Friends" which won Commercial Radio's Song of the Year, "Romantic" which he composed, "Roll" which he duets with Miriam Yeung, and a new song, Edmond's wedding theme "Double Happiness".
