Media Chinese International Ltd ( (HK:0685) ) has provided an update.

Media Chinese International Limited plans to cease its Canadian media operations effective 1 February 2026, ending a 32-year presence in that market. The shutdown, driven by a strategic review amid a structural shift of audiences toward digital and online platforms, will incur estimated one-off expenses of at least US$4 million, mainly related to staff layoffs, to be recognized in the quarter ending 31 March 2026. The board says the move will allow the group to concentrate management attention and capital on core markets and digital initiatives, positioning the company to optimise resources and potentially strengthen long-term competitiveness despite the immediate financial and employment impact.
