Anderson Chan’s career has always been intertwined with film and television production. In 1995, when he was in his second year of Shue Yan’s journalism programme, he had the first taste of working in a television environment as a tape operator and assistant director in the news department of Asia Television (ATV). In 2000, as the ATV news department was undergoing reform and development, he recommended himself to the management and took up a reporter role. With an instinct in breaking news coverage, this career shift paved the way for his journey to become a station reporter in the mainland.

 

Chan has since amassed a wealth of experience in carrying out reporting duties aboard. One of his most notable assignments was to cover the inauguration ceremony of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, the second female president of the Philippines. With the help of senior colleagues, he learnt to adapt to the fast-changing environment as a Hong Kong reporter working aboard, swiftly connect with overseas Chinese communities for interviews, and efficiently compile daily overseas news segments for programmes including News Magazine. The dynamic nature of the news industry has been instrumental in broadening his professional horizons.

 

In 2012, Chan briefly left ATV to join Roadshow, a company specializing in mobile multimedia information platforms, as Director of Program Content. In this role, he contributed to the production of “Go Beyond Hong Kong”, a programme which involved filming in various countries worldwide.

 

He returned to ATV in 2013 and was subsequently promoted to Vice President of the News Department. During ATV’s final challenging period, he remained committed to providing accurate daily news reports until the station ceased operations.

 

In 2018, Chan joined Cable TV’s Program Department, where he produced various current affairs programmes on topics including innovation and technology. Later, he moved to the News Department and was responsible for the planning of special programmes related to the Greater Bay Area. Chan currently serves as the HEAD of Public Affairs at i-Cable Communications Limited, and continues to explore directions in film and television production for viewers.

 

 

 

“From Shue Yan to the TV news industry, it is my ‘resilient’ and ‘uncomplaining’ nature that got me through numerous challenges. I firmly believe that if you work hard for opportunities without worrying about personal gains and losses, like-minded people will appear at crucial moments to support you. Looking back on my time in the ATV news department, it was the harmonious atmosphere that allowed everyone to go the extra mile in producing well-recognized news stories even under extremely limited resources - one such example was the celebrity interview program ‘Hong Kong 100 VIPS’. I hope that Shue Yan graduates can find their unique path to growth and shine brightly in their respective media fields.”

職業生涯總帶著影視製作的影子。1995年，陳興昌在樹仁新傳系就讀二年級，初嘗電視台的工作環境，在亞洲電視新聞部先後擔任影帶操作員及助理編導。2000年，適逢亞視新聞部改革發展方針，陳興昌決定向管理層自薦轉任記者，轉型後對突發新聞甚有心得，同時獲上司的提拔，輾轉開始內地駐站記者的生涯。

 

陳興昌擁有豐富境外採訪經驗，自言遠赴菲律賓採訪阿羅約夫人就任當地歷來第二位女總統最印象深刻。他表示甫入行有幸跟隨資深同事離港採訪，充實其傳媒生涯的經驗，例如體會到置身海外的本港記者如何靈活應變、用最快捷的渠道聯繫華僑受訪、以至綜合每日報播的海外新聞片段以速製半小時專題節目《時事追擊》，新聞業界講求凡事機動的獨有環境，有助開拓年輕人的眼界。

 

2012年，陳興昌短暫離開亞洲電視，加盟專營流動多媒體資訊平台的集團路訊通（Roadshow），出任節目內容總監，協助走訪海外多國攝製經濟資訊節目《香港走出去》。

 

陳興昌在2013年重返亞視，其後升任新聞部副總裁，在亞視最後困難時刻，與留守的同事一直恪盡職守，每日提供準確新聞報道，直至亞視「熄機」。

 

2018年，他轉職有線電視節目部，製作創科等不同類型的時事資訊節目，之後轉職新聞部，包括策劃粵港澳大灣區相關的專題節目，期望繼續為觀眾發掘影視製作的新方向，現時為有線寬頻集團公共事務總監。

 

 

 

「由樹仁跳入電視新聞圈，面對無窮的挑戰，全靠『抵諗』和『唔計較』的性格應對，深信努力爭取機會，不論得失，總有志同道合的人在關鍵時刻現身扶持。回憶亞洲電視新聞部的工作，有賴和諧共濟的氣氛，各個崗位一人走多一步，才能在極有限的資源下製作備受認同的新聞故事，例如播出逾百集的名人專訪節目《香港百人》，便在這背景下誕生，希望樹仁畢業的傳媒人，能夠找到屬於自己獨有的成長路，在各行各業發光發亮。」
