無綫劇集悲情結局 共收13宗投訴 謝天華、黃宗澤主演電視劇《潛行狙擊》結局篇平均收視33點，無綫外事部副總監曾醒明指該劇共接獲8宗投訴，指不滿意結局要求重拍結局，而廣管局亦接獲5宗投訴，指不滿結局悲慘，正義的人無晒一齊。 此外，飲食節目《為食總司令》其中一集內容涉及魚翅，無綫接到環保團體來信反映節目不環保，無綫已回覆不是刻意叫人去食魚翅。《千奇百趣終極反擊戰》廣管局則接了一宗投訴，指有絲襪蒙頭片段，會令小朋友模仿造成意外。

隔牆有耳：節目煮翅幟哥被斥 2011年09月13日 瀏覽人次：9,400 無綫 9月 4日晚播出名廚黃永幟做主持嘅飲食節目《為食總司令》，幟哥喺節目尾段親自下廚示範煮菜式「炒蟹肉乾撈翅」畀嘉賓惠英紅同鍾慧冰品嚐，用咗重量級海虎翅做食材，仲講解點樣煮魚翅，成班人食得津津有味，但節目出街後無綫即刻收到 4個電郵同一個電話投訴，話幟哥行為鼓吹食翅好唔環保，其中一個投訴嚟自 WWF世界自然基金會。 無綫外事部副總監曾醒明噚日解釋節目只係介紹美食資訊，冇鼓吹人食翅，會將意見向製作部反映，日內書面回覆有關團體，幟哥就話暫時唔回應。其實幟哥被投訴有前科，舊年佢主持第一輯《為》節目時亦推介過魚翅菜式，當時同樣被環保團體同網民投訴㗎。

Group does not focus on fins Ricky Leung seeks to reframe the shark fishing debate into one around economics rather than sustainability (‘Fins a side issue in shark fishing’, February 11). Tens of millions of sharks are taken annually, a figure that is unsustainable whether it is for Europeans eating the meat or Chinese consuming…
Letter to the SCMP Editor: Fins a side issue in shark fishing. 11 February 2011
Fins a side issue in shark fishing Claire Garner from the Hong Kong Shark Foundation claims that sharks are fished primarily to sell their fins and not their meat (‘Shark’s fin campaign is about sustainable fishing, not culture’, January 22). The distinction is important. If sharks are fished mainly for their meat, the fins are…
