[edit] Trivia
- Chow was employed by all of the television stations in Hong Kong during her career in the broadcasting sector. She was first hired as an episodic drama director for TVB, then she worked as a promotions manager at the ill-fated Commercial Television, and finally worked as the General Manager at ATV.
- Some blame Chow for the failure of the third terrestrial television station in Hong Kong, Commercial Television, due to her orders to start an intense media campaign to promote the station, which was already ailing at the time.
