Background

On August 15, 2017, TVB launched TVB Finance Channel as a replacement of TVB J5, a television channel formerly called TVB HD Jade.[3][4] Other than showing self-produced programmes made by TVB News, the channel will also show acquired documentaries, Mandarin news and live broadcast of major sports events.

On January 20, 2018, the channel was officially renamed and rebranded as TVB Finance & Information Channel. The purpose is to justify its channel usage – a channel that provides both financial but also informative programmes and shows.

On April 13, 2020, Mandarin news moved back to TVB Pearl.

On September 5, 2022, the channel was officially renamed TVB Finance, Sports & Information Channel,[5] after having become the broadcaster of the Hong Kong Jockey Club and Mark Six drawings (replacing sister channel TVB J2).[6][7]

In April 2024, it was announced that the channel would be shut down, with its content merged into TVB J2 to form TVB Plus beginning 22 April. In turn, the channel 85 allocation was rented to Phoenix Television, and began broadcasting Phoenix Hong Kong Channel.[8][9]
