Abstract

City Broadcasting Channel (CBC) has been one of the independent campus channels that broadcast from Hong Kong universities. As a central unit of the Student Union of City University of Hong Kong, CBC has been managed by an elected team of students. CBC’s Facebook page states that it, “as a multimedia channel, endeavors to deliver both on- and off-union information to students, ensuring their right of acknowledgment. This [channel] thus enables students to monitor CityU and union affairs as well as things happening in society.”
