i-CABLE Communications brings on board new CEO as Stephen Wong steps down

i-CABLE Communications has named former TVB deputy GM Felix To Chi Hak as its new CEO and executive director, effective from 3 June, succeeding its current CEO Stephen Wong See Yuen. The appointment will last for a fixed term for five years. 

A statement provided by i-CABLE Communications has shown that To's monthly salary is HK$360,000. He is also entitled to performance-based discretionary bonus and other benefits determined by the company.

Aged 59, To is a media executive with over 30 years of experience in television, publication and radio industry in mainland China and Hong Kong. He has served controller and management roles covering a wide range of media functions from programming and acquisition, production management of documentary, variety and drama projects, to sales and marketing for over a quarter-century, according to the release. 

Prior to joining i-CABLE, To was the deputy general manager of Television Broadcasts (TVB) from July 2016 to August 2021, and the chief of Viu Originals of PCCW Services primarily responsible for organising and producing drama series for the regional over-the-top (OTT) service Viu and Hong Kong broadcaster Viu TV from September 2021 to January 2023.

Meanwhile, Wong has resigned as CEO due to his pursuit of his other personal career development and interests. Wong was appointed as the company's CEO last March, where he was responsible for the general operations of i-CABLE Communications in his new position. 

Furthermore, Tan Sri Dato’ David Chiu has resigned as the company's non-executive director and vice chairman. Andrew Wah Wai Chiu and Hoong Cheong Thard have also resigned as non-executive directors.
