Top TVB host Chan arrested in graft probe

Stephen Chan Chi-wan

Stephen Chan Chi-wan, a famed TVB host in Hong Kong and a top executive of the broadcaster, was arrested in a graft probe Thursday along with a former assistant and three other high-profile employees, the territory's South China Morning Post reported.

The five, suspected of obtaining special privileges without the authority of Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB), were arrested by the Independent Commission against Corruption, HK's graft watchdog, the newspaper said.

Chan is a veteran TVB personality whose variety shows, including Minutes to Fame, a HK version of American Idol, and reality talk show Beautiful Cooking, earned him household-name popularity in and beyond the south China territory.
