Forever Top (Asia) Limited ( Chinese: 永升（亞洲）有限公司) is a company based in Hong Kong founded by David Chiu ^{[ zh]}, the current head of Far East Consortium. The company initially applied for a free-to-air television broadcast license under the name of New Asia Network (NAN; Chinese: 新亞電視台). The company later withdrew the application, and acquired I-Cable Communications.

Background

David Chiu is a son of Deacon Chiu Te-ken, the founder of Far East Consortium. Deacon Chiu bought Rediffusion Television (RTV) in 1982 and renamed it Asia Television (ATV) before he sold the broadcaster in 1989. Forever Top's free-to-air television bid, New Asia Network, was named in memory of ATV.

New Asia Network

In 2015, Forever Top applied for a free-to-air television broadcast license under the name of New Asia Network. One of the company's goals was to acquire the assets of ATV, whose license would be revoked after 1 April 2016.

Forever Top later withdrew the application and in 2017, the company acquired I-Cable Communications, the parent company of Hong Kong Cable Television and Fantastic Television.
