Stephen Chan

Yesterday Stephen Chan went to a luxury home for CRHK's new life education radio program "Life or Death - Stephen Chan 生死之交、陳志雲" that will premiere on July 18th. It was the first day Stephen started recording for the program with Connie Chan Po Chu invited as the guest. The program provides opinions from pastor Enoch Lam. Every guest who attends gets a microwave reheat bowl souvenir. The style is just like "Be My Guest"!

Stephen strongly stressed that he's not challenging TVB: "We're recording here at the luxury home, so Connie can feel at home. "Be My Guest" is a TVB program with something to eat, this CRHK program provides no meals, the most guests get is a cup of water. (Hosting a CRHK program is contradictory to TVB?) I let all companies know, at this period of time I can only do radio program, I can't do other television network program. (So when will you come back to TVB?) Still waiting for TVB to notify me." Speaking of the rumors that CRHK used a few million to invite him over to work at their radio station, Stephen denied: "No, I don't receive any pay for this program, it's voluntary. (Will you invite TVB artistes, like Amigo Chui to be guests?) This program talks about death, I hope to find guests who have lost their loved ones or maybe they once go down the death path. If TVB has artistes who fit, then I will invite. This time inviting Connie Chan is because she experienced her mother's death, I hope to ask her to share with everyone how she faced it."

After her mother Gung Fan Hang passed away, Connie has been resting all along, she expressed that her emotions have recovered a lot. Will doing this interview trigger some of her sorrow? Connie frankly said that she is emotionally prepared: "Just thinking of it makes me cry, but I won't be like the first time crying nonstop because I would think that my mother actually left this world comfortably, then I stop crying."

Asked if Connie is worried about Stephen Chan being investigated by the ICAC, she has confidence for Stephen: "I sent a SMS to him earlier, but he replied saying that I don't have to worry, so I not worrying because I know he understands what he's doing!"

TVB shut out Stephen Chan, his new CRHK radio program put on halt

March 2010, because TVB General Manager Stepehen Chan was involved in a corruption case, initially was going to be back on the microphone again on CRHK's new radio program (Life or Death. Stephen Chan). However, yesterday Stephen's new program is suddenly put on halt. The first episode with guest Connie Chan has already been recorded and now is put in storage until further notice. TVB 'shuts out' Stephen again.

Commercial Radio Station HK (CRHK) initially was going to broadcast (Life or Death Stephen Chan) on 881 at 10pm Juky 18, 2010. Now because of Mr. Stephen Chan's personal reasons, the program's broadcast is delayed. CRHK respects and understands Mr. Chan's decision.

Reporters contacted Stephen to get an understanding of the situation, he only said: "I will not respond." and did not provide an explanation to why the program is halted. Reporters then went to TVB to investigate, asking them if they didn't allow Stephen to host a CRHK radio program. TVB Foreign Affairs Director (Tsang Sing Ming)
expressed that it is because of Stephen's personal reasons, but TVB's employees accepting outside work should notify the company in advance. As Stephen is still TVB's employee, hosting a radio program with CRHK will require filling out an application. TVB's response is: "not suitable for this type of work."

That day when Stephen recorded the first episode to his new program with Connie Chan, he strongly stressed he and TVB had no problems on him going back on the microphone with CRHK because it was voluntary work and there wasn't any pay. He also notified TVB about it beforehand. Currently (Life or Death - Stephen Chan) is set for 13 episodes, only 1 episode has been recorded for the meantime and the broadcast date is unknown until further notice.

Cancels Tomorrow's public appearance.
