I am not a fan of Fairchild and It might be pretty hard to find a real fan in Vancouver that would say they really enjoy what Fairchild has brought them.

In a way, I am feeling sorry for Fairchild for taking all these judgment from the chinese community in Canada. We are always comparing Fairchild and TVB but we just can't do that. Fairchild started in 1993 and TVB started in the 1960's. It really takes time, $$ and efford to develop the talents they have in TVB.

Another factor is weather if it make sense to invest so much $$ in this Chinese market in Canada. The same commercial playing on TVB would have over 6 million watching... but as in here Vancouver, there are only 400,000 Chinese and among those more than half would be watching the other 300 channels over Bell, Shaw or other illegal US broadcasting stations. We have CBC news, Hockey Night, Canadian Idols, HEROS on and on ... How can the production from fairchild be up to par with all these other productions.

The money they generate from their production couldn't afford them to pay high $$ to their employees. For example, Fairchild is offering $1000 for 10 of their commerical spots.. while in HK they are charging $1000 for maybe 0.0003 of a sec.

I think Vancouver is a very difficult market if you can't hit the mainstream. I just couldn't think of any successful business in Vancouver that is just focusing on the minority. By Successful I am measuring base on the protential to become comparable with other mainstream company in the same field.

Feel free to discuss my points but please keep it friendly. ^,^

Actually, they want to mislead that they are part of TVB and may be you think you are watching a oversea's version of TVB

Nice try, I think some C9 will buy their story.

Do you know... TVB is a free TV station? and you are paying for Fairchild right?
What part of the situation do you not understand?

You are paying QUITE A BIT for Fairchild TV you know? Unless you are not the one paying the bills, there is no reason for you to defend for them. So you are paying a TV station to air originally FREE TV programmes in HK and on top of that, get forced to watch crappy commercials with Dr. Jamie telling you how much he is paying Fairchild for these self-satisfying commercials of his.

Fairchild IS NOT part of TVB. You are paying 20-30 bucks a month for Fairchild's crappy + unimportant TV programmes and 2-3 years old TVB dramas that are not even worth watching. Not to mention how they pool the same news information with the radios, earning them double the money. Look at the bigger picture man... My family already cancelled Fairchild just because it's a dumb idea, maybe you should do the same too?

TVB is free yes; for fairchild you have to pay for it, yes, but they didn't Make you pay that money. You have the option to not paying it. There must be a reason when someone is paying those BIG money each month to watch Fairchild. Some is too lazy to rent or download those 2-3 years old TVB Dramas; some is too lazy to buy a newspaper for news report; some is too lazy to learn English and watch the English media.

Think of it this way, if people are not paying 20 - 30 a month Fairchild probably won't be even be here anymore. There wont' be any chinese channel available other than the MultiCultural Channel. How would it affect the chinese community. Through what other channel can people communicate in the Chinese community.

I an not trying to defend Fairchild. I just want to discuss about it. I am a Communication Major at SFU and I always find it interesting to discuss about the media and how it affects the community.

等我中英對照解釋多次呢個現像: 當全城淨得一隻雞, 仲要係獨市雞喎, 咁你就要焗住幫趁, 無論佢服務態度幾差, 質素幾低. 一係你就騎馬過第二個城幫趁 ( 比作唔怕麻煩自已download).

Let me try to explain this, for example, you may not like that uglywhore, but since she is pretty much the only one in town, then you justhave to go with eyes closed and the worst part is you still have to payher or you don't get entertainment.

唉, 你求其問個牛頭角順嫂呀, 砵蘭街馬伕呀咁都解到畀你聽点解喇, 唔駛番SFU 開topic研究喇.
