    ATV have intentions of creating a <JSG> similar music program

    Ella Koon does not dare to respond to "TVB Monopoly"
    Ella Koon took part in SASA Fragrance's awards ceremony as their the spokesperson. Ella smiled and said when it comes to perfume, she can have a long love for it. Her first perfume was introduced to her by her mother, and since then she's been using it until that perfume discontinued sales. When speaking of ATV having intentions of making a similar music program as <Jade Solid Gold>, Ella expressed that she's not too sure: "As a singer, of course we hope to have more people admire our songs. If I'm going to take part in the new program, it will be decided by my company." She continued and said that besides having a singer contract, she also has a contract with TVB as an artist. Asked if she supports one television network monopoly or not? She then tried to change the topic: "I just hope that the issue could be resolved as soon as possible, I have shows to attend now and won't be able to see many singers." Speaking of the singers under the "big 4" record companies may be using Cantonese to accept interviews from other television networks? Ella said: "The most important thing is that viewers could understand, whatever language is used is not a problem."

    Also, Joey Yung attended the <Metro Joey Yung My Queen Concert> press conference and when asked about her feelings towards ATV's intentions for a new music program, she said: "My contract with TVB has not expired yet. Besides being part of EEG, I am also a part of TVB. Just that both stations will provide me with enough promotion!" As to the 'big 4' singers having to use Cantonese to do interviews on other TV networks? Joey said: "It is a form of respect between the singers and the institution. A respect between human beings, at least they have an understanding."

    ATV Executive responds: TVB uses one plant pot, ATV a whole field
    ATV Executive (Cheng Wai Keung) was asked about the plans of the new music program. He said that we'll have to wait until after this week's meeting before any news becomes reliable. If it's successful, he hopes to invite Jacky Cheung to be their guest: "They (TVB) are using one pot to plant vegetables, how much can they grow then? Also it doesn't taste good, we are using a whole field to plant our crops!"
