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 licence under the name of New Asia Network (NAN; Chinese: 新亞電視台), but it later withdrew the application, and acquired I-Cable Communications instead.

Background

David Chiu is a son of Deacon Chiu Te-ken, the founder of Far East Consortium. Deacon Chiu bought the 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.
