TVB's GM Stephen Chan got involved in a bribery case and was arrested by ICAC yesterday. Three other TVB staff, including the Chan Wing Sun from the marketing department, show producer Ronald Chin ("Beautiful Cooking"), artiste Ning Jin, and director of an advertising agency. TVB temporarily stopped the jobs of these four and removed Chan's TVB blog. It's known TVB already notified its artistes not to talk about and randomly comment on this case. Patrick Tang expressed he's worried about Chan; Eric Tseng was shocked and said with disbelief: "No way!"

Tseng Sing Ming, assistant manager of external affairs held a press conference yesterday afternoon and confirmed ICAC's arrest of 4 TVB staff. Initially Ching was asked to provide information for the investigation but was arrested in the end. "My Guest," hosted by Chan, has four episodes in stock and will continue to air until they're all played. Ning, who is also arrested, is responsible for giving out gifts in the show. Asked the reason TVB removed Chan's blog, Mr. Tseng said it's to avoid any kinds of effect to the investigation.
