Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) was awarded on Thursday a total of 11 accolades, comprising one Silver Tower, two Bronze Towers and eight Finalist Diplomas at the New York Festivals Radio Awards and TV & Film Awards.

The Silver Tower, presented under the "Entertainment: Music Special" category of the Radio Awards, went to the "Concert in the Park - A Salute to Love", produced by RTHK Radio 4.

Staged on Christmas Eve last year, the concert celebrated the bonds and affinities between composers, conveying messages of love and hope through stirring melodies.

The radio drama "Dragon's Return to the Homeland", co-produced by RTHK Radio 1 and the Guangzhou Broadcasting Network, claimed a Bronze Tower.

RTHK's Production Services Division also captured a Bronze Tower in the "Craft Films/Production: Use of Technology" category of the TV & Film Awards, in recognition of its innovative integration of extended reality and augmented reality technologies in the special programmes of the 15th National Games of the People's Republic of China, the 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and the 9th National Special Olympic Games.

A further eight RTHK programmes received Finalist Diplomas, spanning a diverse range of subjects including humanities documentaries, social issues, sports promotion and in-depth news features.

The Director of Broadcasting, Angelina Kwan, said these multiple international honours stand as solid testimony to RTHK's world-class standards in content creation, production craftsmanship and journalistic professionalism.

She affirmed that RTHK would continue to uphold its mission as a public service broadcaster, dedicating itself to producing quality programmes that tell good stories of Hong Kong and the country through diverse themes and innovative formats.
