Kenneth Yau, a radio talk-show host in Toronto. was fired because of his criticism of a pro-China community leader.
Yau, who often takes a critical stance toward China, was fired by Fairchild Radio’s AM1430 in 2019, which the station said was because of “lots of complaints about his attitude and tone” and not because of his criticism.
Anita Lee, a host with Fairchild’s AM1470 in Vancouver, was fired for supporting pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong and playing the pro-democracy anthem Glory to Hong Kong on the air.
Fairchild is partly owned by TVB, a Hong Kong-based TV network known for its pro-China bias.
