About TorontoTV. Around 100 program hosts/cameramen helped grow TorontoTV. 11k videos were produced and now showing in youtube channel. It recorded the development of Toronto Chinese community since 2003 to 2026. The current business model of TorontoTV is much same as other media business. It relied on sponsorship and advertising to survive. But since Social media (fb, youtube, twitter, instagram, tiktok.... ) appeared, the business revenue reduced to half or even more. I tried to keep cost low and tried to do almost everything by myself (filming, editing, marketing.....) to keep TorontoTV running for 23 years. I closed down TorontoTV because I did not see the future. I tried to find investors/successors, but failed. The reason is media business is not a profit-making business. It is like a social enterprise now. I am happy that so far many people still remember me and TorontoTV now. But who knows what 5 years or 10 years later. It is better that I called the shot now, instead of being forced to close down TorontoTV later. Anyway, life has to move on. I am proud of TorontoTV. Nobody thought it could survive in the early stage. I made it. I turned a hobby business into a real business. I enjoyed working with you all (hosts/camermen/sponsors/advertisers/politicians/community leaders/interviewees). And Thanks to all who helped TorontoTV big or small. Wish you all Safe/healthy/happy.
