On 21 December 2013 HKTV acquired mobile TV licence and spectrum from CMHK, and planned to relaunch UTV on 1 July 2014 as HKTV. The Facebook page that organised the march received about 500,000 " likes" within one week. Protesters chanted "Stop monopoly in the TV market" as they thought that TVB was monopolising the market and they said "Stop black box politics" because the policy made by the Executive Council is not transparent to the public. HKTV suggested that 80,000 people took part in the protest, while the police claimed that only 36,000 people joined. On 20 October 2013, five days after the rejection of HKTV's TV licence application, crowds of protesters in black T-shirts including the staff of HKTV marched to request the government to issue the licence and demand an explanation. The staff of HKTV and the public protested on the Civic Square outside the Central Government Offices against the government's decision to deny HKTV's application. There was a strong outcry against the decision from the general public. The government quoted 'gradual and orderly approach' as the sole reason for its decision and invited HKTV to challenge it in court by judicial review. The licence application was rejected by the Hong Kong Government on 15 October 2013 amidst competition from television operators Fantastic Television and HK Television Entertainment. It planned to start broadcasting with six channels, and eventually expand to 30 in six years.

Moreover, it released some trailers of the TV series on YouTube, which received mostly positive feedback. Īfter submission of application for a domestic free television programme service licence in 2009, HKTV invested about HK$300 million and hired several hundred staff to produce TV series, and planned to invest HK$600 million into a new Television Production Centre at Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate. In January 2013, City Telecom took on the name HKTV. It then renamed as Hong Kong Television Network in order to attempt to enter the free-to-air television market of Hong Kong. City Telecom sold its main business Hong Kong Broadband Network in 2012. Hong Kong Television Network Limited was formerly known as City Telecom (founded in 1992).
