MEDIA critics are furious at a decision by ATV to employ a beauty queen and a veteran game-show host as news anchors in an attempt to win the battle for viewers.
From Tuesday, former Miss Asia Jacqueline Chu Wai-san, 33, and TV show host Ivan Ho Sau-shun, 59, will anchor the main evening news on ATV Home, which will be rescheduled from its current 6.25pm slot to 7.30pm.
Rival TVB's main news on Jade airs at 6.30pm.

“The next focus will be the impact on US market demand [or] shipments after Apple Intelligence becomes available in late October,” Kuo said. He maintains his previous production estimate for the iPhone 16 series at 88 million to 89 million units in the fourth quarter.
