Winnie Yu Tsang (Chinese: 俞琤; pinyin: Yú Chēng, born 1954) is a Hong Kong radio personality and was the deputy chairman of Commercial Radio Hong Kong from 2004 through 2015.
Yu is known for her puns in creating radio programme titles and slang phrases (e.g., si-dan-up/"是但噏", literally "freestyle talk", as a phonetic translation of "stand-up").
Yu left secondary school in 1971, when she was only in Fifth Form. She joined Hong Kong Commercial Radio (CR) as a DJ and first hosted a breakfast radio programme titled Morning Friends (早晨老友記). She was subsequently given the role of creative director and then programme director of the newly formed youth radio channel CR2.
In 1982, Yu left CR to form her own production company, Mes Amis Productions, and was involved in a range of media projects, including movie production.
She was invited to return to CR in 1988 as general manager, a position she held until the 2000s, when she started to gradually step out of the station's administration. Yu resigned as CEO in 2003 and became the CEO of PCC Skyhorse, a joint venture company between Commercial Radio and Pacific Century Cyberworks.
Recent history
Yu returned to CR in 2004 as deputy chairman during one of the company's most controversial periods and instituted a number of programming changes. Most notable was the cancellation of Teacup in a Storm (風波裡的茶杯), hosted by Albert Cheng, after much controversy. The host, along with Wong Yuk-man (another radio personality), were fired from the station and new programmes were initiated, including "On A Clear Day".
