TVB News, formally known as the TVB News and Public Affairs Department, is the newsgathering arm of TVB network, whose flagship stations, TVB Jade and TVB Pearl, are the premier stations in Hong Kong. The slogan of TVB news is "TVB Cares" (???????????? ????????????).

TVB's news division is renowned for its factual accuracy and quality, as well as its speed. No special news investigations are aired during the broadcast, only short news bulletins are aired.

All newscasts on TVB Jade are in Cantonese (except the Putonghua Financial Report). Good Morning Hong Kong and the Putonghua Financial Report are seen Monday to Saturday, and other business newscasts are seen on weekdays. Also, programmes have in-vision captions for the hearing impaired, as mandated by local regulations.

Standalone weather reports are aired after the News at 6:30 on TVB Jade and the News at 7:30 on TVB Pearl. They are famous for Freddy (????????????), a cartoon figure which gives the forecast for the next day. The highly stylized and comical format is considered an institution, and is widely recognized by many Hong Kong people. (The rest of the weather forecast is read by an actual human presenter.)
