Four television stations from China's mainland and
the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region won Singapore a total
of five titles at the Asian Television Awards (ATA) 2000.
With the winning Monk Constant, a children's
animation series, and A Man With HIV, a heart-rending documentary,
the China Beijing Television Station was crowned with two titles
under the categories of Best Children's Program and Best Documentary
Program respectively.
Sichuan Television Station, the other winner
from the mainland, obtained the award of Best Wildlife Program with
The Tibetan Macaque in Emei, which describes the life of the endangered
species living in the mountains of the Tibetan-Qinghai Plateau.
The other two honors, under the categories of
Best Entertainment Special and Best Infotainment Program, went to
Hong Kong's Television Broadcasts Limited (TBL) and the STAR TV
respectively.
The TBL secured its grip on the award with its
Miss Hong Kong Pageant 1999 (Final), an extravaganza that has changed
from a recreation of old Hong Kong to cyberspace while the STAR
TV made it with The Ticket-Women's Special, which reflects the changing
role of women in filmmaking since the industry's early days.
The above four winners were chosen from more
than 1,100 entries of 135 TV-related companies in 13 countries and
regions.
The Fifth ATA was held in conjunction with the
first Asia Television Forum which opened on Wednesday.
