Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB) plans to air a number of specials about World Expo 2010, George C. Chan, group general manager of the leading wireless television station in Hong Kong, said yesterday while meeting organisers at the Bureau of Shanghai World Expo Coordination.

Describing the Expo construction site as "magnificent," Chan said the station would assist in the promotion of Expo 2010 and it attached great importance to its coverage of the event.

Zhu Yonglei, deputy director general of the bureau, said TVB has a large influence among Chinese people around the world. He hoped the station would cooperate closely with organisers in digital satellite broadcasting transmissions in addition to news coverage.

The TVB delegation learned about the master plan of the Expo during its visit.
