Why some TVB dramas are not shown in Hong Kong but in foreign countries?

[cestlavie]

Hi I am just wondering why some TVB dramas are not shown in Hong Kong but they are available in foreign countries?

examples are as follow:

- Au Revoir Shanghai 上海傳奇
- 千謊百計 The Price of Greed
- 肥婆奶奶扭計媳 The Stamp Of Love
- 鳳舞香羅 Riches And Stitches
- 蘭花劫 Phoenix Rising
etc...


If they have made these TV series, why didn't they broadcast them in HK too?

I just don't understand the logic behind their marketing decisions.

Can someone answer my doubts here?

Thanks!

I think it's because they have larger productions that needed to be aired and there's only a limited amount of time slots.

ya it can be a bummer sometimes, especially when it's a show with your fav actor or something. same thing here with fairchild tv, they just dont have the schedule to fit all tvb productions with one channel >.< idont know who makes the decisions at fairchild...some shows can be excluded to make room for better shows.
