Broadcasting, Culture and Sport Bureau

The Broadcasting, Culture and Sport Bureau (Chinese: 文康廣播局) is a former policy bureau of the Government of Hong Kong, which was responsible for managing Hong Kong's broadcasting services, developing the film and public entertainment industries, promoting Hong Kong's Arts and Culture, and providing support to sports and physical recreation facilities.[1] It was headed by Secretary for Broadcasting, Culture and Sport.[2]

The bureau was established on 1 July 1997 due to the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong, and lasted until April 1999, when it was restructured as the Information Technology and Broadcasting Bureau.[3]
