Protesters applaud Rain Lau Yuk Tsui (C, standing), a Hong Kong Television (HKTV) actress, during a rally to demonstrate against the government's decision not to award a free-to-air broadcast licence to HKTV, outside government headquarters in Hong Kong October 20,2013. HKTV announced on October 16, 2013 that 320 staff would be laid off after the network's domestic free-to-air TV license application was rejected by the government despite having invested HK$300 million in program production, according to local media. Two other existing pay-TV operators PCCW and i-Cable Communication were given the licenses, according to a government announcement.
