RTHK presents smart broadcasting and inclusive commentary for the National Games
The 15th National Games of the People’s Republic of China, along with the 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and the 9th National Special Olympics Games, will officially begin on November 9 and December 8, 2025, respectively. Held once every four years and representing the country’s highest-level multi-sports event, the Games is co-hosted by Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao for the first time.
RTHK will broadcast this sports spectacle live on RTHK TV31, TV32, and TV36, as well as on RTHK radio channels. In addition to providing commentary in Cantonese and Putonghua, RTHK also offers audio descriptions and sign language services.
Specifically, the TV programme “Live Coverage of 15th National Games” on RTHK TV32 will be showing major matches live every day, while RTHK TV31 will provide one hour of highlights at 9 pm. A new RTHK TV36 channel is launched as an inclusive channel to offer audio descriptive commentary during live broadcasts, with evening recaps featuring sign language interpretations.
