How it's used
Most locals simply refer to the company as TVB rather than using the full name. Using the full name sounds slightly formal or like you are reading from a news report. It is the dominant terrestrial broadcaster in Hong Kong and has shaped local pop culture for decades.
Examples
Will you be watching TVB tonight?
The drama currently airing on TVB is quite good.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the general term for wireless technology, which is also written as 無線. Context usually makes it clear whether you are talking about the broadcaster or a Wi-Fi connection.
