Or they mean the Cantonese show Newsweek 時事一周 which already moved online?They don't now, as RTHK banned BBC World Service per the Chinese authority's orders in 2021. Newsweek is their only programming, and the host hinted it's nearing its end.
(Unofficial translation: Due to the corporate restructuring of the BBC, Newsweek Cantonese is ending after the 5/11/2022 episode. Thank you to all the old friends and new acquaintances for your support. BBC News Chinese will continue to provide Cantonese audio-visual content from time to time, so please like and subscribe to our social media platforms for the latest news and information.)
(and yes, they're still on the ancient Gill Sans branding)
Edit: Didn't see Frances' update on the topic on the previous page - I think it's the first blood, afaik.
