A natural companion to Money Talk, The Close will wrap the day’s market action, delving into what you need to know about the economy and investment planning. Join the team and their expert guests to get the very latest on the day's top business stories, as well as looking at how your lifestyle can affect your wallet... and more.
Every weekday 5.05pm to 6pm (HKT) - on Radio 3.
From Monday May 6th, Radio 3 brings you some more programmes, 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.
Welcome to Monday, and all is sunny and well on The Brew. Robbie McRobbie will be with you at the sightly later time of 1240 today, as he has a power meeting at 12. Join him for all the latest from the world of rugby. At 1.25 we are off to Ho Chi Minh City to catch up with Bureau Chief-at-large, Neil Runcieman. As usual, join him on Facebook live if you can.
Every weekday afternoon from 12 until 2... Only on Radio 3
On Tuesday's Backchat, we're talking about spending habits among mainland tourists.
Immigration figures show that about 760,000 mainland visitors came to Hong Kong during the five-day Labour Day holiday, a 19% increase compared to last year. The city welcomed about 560 tour groups, with many attending the Tourism Board's HK$1 million fireworks display, which was part of the city's drive to attract tourists back into the SAR.
But while visitor numbers saw an upward increase, some retailers and hotels noted a drop in sales, with younger tourists favouring historical spots over luxury malls, and some opting to spend the night in Shenzhen where room rates can be less than half of those in Hong Kong.
Have mainland tourists become more frugal? We'll be talking to some leading industry figures.
