An update on the effects of Jiang's passing to Hong Kong TV: The state funeral will be held tomorrow at 10am (HKT), with most FTA TV stations broadcasting live.
TVB Jade (Ch.81) and HoyTV (Ch.77) will start at 9.55, whereas ViuTV (Ch.99/96) and RTHK TV (Ch.31/32) start at 10 sharp. RTHK TV Ch.33, as a relay of CCTV, begins at 9. Not too sure if other TVB and Cable sister channels will follow suit.
[Edit] All TVB stations bar J2 (Ch.82) simulcast it for a short time, before back to normal shows (bar Jade and TVB News). Hoy Info (Ch.78) also went live as well, but HKIBC didn't.
Some TVB shows are postponed as a mark of respect and per government's memos to pause entertainment. But interestingly, Jade's annual telethon was still on last Saturday, leading to Guangdong TV blocking its signal for alternative schedules.
