From Monday May 6th, Radio 3 brings you some more programs, a new sound, and a little bit of a spring clean. Each weekday evening after the 5pm news, listen to The Close. Brought to you by the Money Talk team. It’s your new drivetime finance, business, and tech review, bookending the working day, just one hour after ‘the close’ of trading in Hong Kong. Our ever-popular youth show, In The Common Room will return to its former slot of 9.05pm, by which time we know you’ll have finished your homework and can give Alyson Hau your full attention. After several requests from his listeners for more nostalgia from midnight until 1am, Peter King will be with you an hour later each day from 10.05pm. At the weekend we will be shortening some of our longer shows to fit in even more diverse content. At 9.05 each Saturday morning, Janice Wong will bring you ‘CultureZine’, as she discovers all sorts of fascinating new things about Hong Kong's flourishing arts and culture life. We’re also welcoming some new musical experts to Sunday afternoon to share their passions with you. From 12.05, Simon Willson will be taking you back to the 80s and 90s for two hours of classic hits and wonderful album tracks, with Simon's Rolled Gold. We welcome jazz historian and vinyl lover Robin Ewing to the team after that, who will be Feeling Kinda Sunday. The Brew’s Mark Rawson will follow Robin with a brand new musical journey all About Folk. And finally, as we like to give a little to everybody who calls Hong Kong home, no matter their cultural heritage, join Jayang Jhaveri and Muskkan Samtani at 9.05 every week for Network South Asia.

Radio 3... From us. To you. Always.

Join us this Sunday morning at 8.15 for #Hashtag Hong Kong, our weekly focus on matters affecting civil society, where we hear from representatives of NGOs, associations, non-profit groups and statutory bodies. They talk about their work, and the bigger issues they deal with. They also share their choice of music with you to end each programme.

On this week’s Hashtag Hong Kong, Yiu Vor, vice president of Hong  Kong Entomological Society, tells us how light pollution affects fireflies. .(Sunday mornings 8.15-8.25)

On Monday's Backchat, we're talking about calls to improve public housing quality.
