News at 6:30 () stands as the premier evening Cantonese news broadcast on TVB Jade, airing every night at 6:30 pm in Hong Kong since its debut on 19 November 1967. The programme is also accessible without charge via the TVB News online platform.
Beginning on 18 March 2013, News at 6:30 transitioned to daily high-definition transmissions. From 2009 until 2015, viewers on the HD Jade channel received an alternative newscast titled News at 7 instead of the standard 6:30 pm edition. On weekends, the show is simultaneously aired on both the SD and HD Jade channels.
The sports segment was removed from News at 6:30 on weekdays by TVB News as of 3 May 2010.
Broadcast duration
On weeknights, the broadcast typically lasts around sixty minutes, while weekend editions run approximately twenty-five minutes, each followed by the Weather Report. During significant occasions such as the Handover of Hong Kong, major natural catastrophes, and the COVID-19 pandemic, the programme's length has been extended to a full hour.
