15 Jan<\/strong> \u2013 TVB has recently dismissed the notion that it had added extra measures to its security during the TVB Anniversary Awards.<\/p>\n As reported on Mingpao, earlier, it was rumoured that Hong Kong protesters were planning to cause a commotion around TVB City in Tseung Kwan O during the said event, prompting TVB to dispatch a police patrol car outside the gates and supposedly outsource a security team to guard the area.<\/p>\n In addition, the company also decided to forgo an open air red carpet walk this year, opting instead to set up a special tunnel-like corridor that cannot be seen from the outside.<\/p>\n However, when asked about the extra measures, a TVB rep denied that they received any kind of threats.<\/p>\n “This is just a normal measure to strengthen security,” the rep added.<\/p>\n Hong Kong netizens – the independence supporters in particular – have been very critical of the company since the start of the mass protests last year, accusing TVB of being pro-China and therefore biased in its reporting.<\/p>\n (Photo Source: Mingpao)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
