News At Seven-Thirty (, also known as News At 7:30), is the flagship evening news program of the Hong Kong television channel TVB Pearl. It is presented in English, and is broadcast daily at 07:30 PM.

History

News at 7:30 was launched on 19 November 1967, and is one of the longest running newscasts in Hong Kong, alongside News at 6:30 on its sister channel, TVB Jade.

News At Seven-Thirty

In the wake of the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests, several of the show's principal anchors resigned in protest of TVB's handling of the protests, and in fear of increasing government censorship. These included long-time anchors Chris Lincoln, Sonya Artero, Tony Sabine, and James Aitken.
