TVB Refutes Reports That Wong Cho Lam Has Resigned As Chief Creative Officer

Over the weekend, speculation was rife that Cho Lam, who came on board last January to assist general manager Eric Tsang in developing the station’s variety and infotainment shows, had quit after a year.

Reports had claimed that TVB chairman Thomas Hui had tried to talk Cho Lam into staying but to no avail.

There are rumours that he has fallen out with TVB executives Virginia Lok and Catherine Tsang. Cho Lam had reportedly lobbied for Linda Chung to win Best Actress at the TVB Anniversary Awards for her role in Kids’ Lives Matter, but was vetoed by the pair.

To escape the alleged infighting, Cho Lam reportedly turned his focus to helping TVB artistes further their careers in China and is now there with Vincent Wong, Owen Cheung and Samantha Ko.

Over the weekend, many reports claimed that Cho Lam has resigned, but the news was not made public as he and TVB are still in discussion.

Reaction to Cho Lam’s alleged resignation has been mixed.

While his shows have generally been well-received by viewers, some have criticised him for failing to deliver results.
