Career summary

Lee is a Hong Kong journalist and media personality. He graduated in 1993 from the Department of Environmental Science at the University of Hong Kong and joined Cable News as an anchor. He later worked at TVB and Now TV before returning to Cable in 2019.

In 2000, he went to the UK for further study, after which he joined TVB News. From late 2001, he anchored the flagship "6:30 PM News" on Jade Channel and covered live major news events. He also hosted the annual "Hong Kong Year in Review" series from 2003 to 2006. Notably, on 20 September 2003, he co‑anchored the final broadcast from TVB’s Clearwater Bay studio for the Evening News.

In mid‑2007, at the invitation of Law Chan, he joined Now News Channel to help launch the station and served as Chief Anchor. On 11 June 2007, he presented his final "6:30 PM News" on TVB, marking the end of his six‑year tenure, and left TVB on 7 July 2007. He then became an anchor at Now News. On 6 April 2016, he introduced the news programming segment during the launch of free‑to‑air station ViuTV.

According to his LinkedIn profile, in October 2019, he left Now News after twelve years and returned to Cable as General Manager of Content Operations. On 7 October 2019, he appeared as a guest host on the program "Come See Me" on Hong Kong Open TV. On 30 October 2019, he attended Open TV’s 2020 Program Preview as the host of "Come See Me".

On 1 July 2020, he launched the new program "East Meets West", replacing "Come See Me", and continued to host it occasionally. On 10 August 2020, he was appointed News Director of Cable News.

On 1 December 2020, Cable News laid off 40 staff, sparking resignations in multiple departments in protest, with criticism that senior management failed to explain the criteria or consult team leaders. After the layoffs, a video circulated showing Lee interviewing Chief Executive Carrie Lam. In the clip, Lam described Lee’s questioning as "very mild", calling him "cooperative and accommodating".

During the fifth wave of COVID‑19 in Hong Kong in February 2022, Lee returned as a public‑health program host, co‑presenting "Citywide Epidemic Talk" and "Pandemic FAQs" alongside other hosts.

On 19 April 2022, he was appointed Public Affairs Director at Cable Broadband. He continues to host programs, including "East Meets West", radio‑TV hybrid political talk shows, and, on 18 November, an interview with Group Chairman Zheng Ka‑chun on Hoy TV’s "With Dr. Zheng Ka‑chun".
