TVB’s earlier live voting failure at the 2012 Miss Hong Kong pageant was heavily ridiculed. The company’s technical failure made Hong Kong citizens feel robbed of their votes, with the crowning of Carat Cheung (張名雅) which was heavily contested. Vowing to correct its technical issues, TVB hopes that this will enable the public to vote for this year’s TV King and Queen. TVB General Manager, SK Cheong (鄭善強) stated that the full audit report of the server crash during the Miss Hong Kong pageant is now available. Next week, there will be an explanation as to what led to the voting failure and whether any parties will be held responsible. Realizing that audiences are excited by the one-person-one-vote system, TVB will consider using this system to select the winners of the TVB Anniversary Awards. Mr. Cheong stated that the voting technicalities can be overcome and that TVB will have the ability to implement this voting process. However, the method in which this will be implemented has not been finalized yet. Creds: Oriental Daily
