On 18 March 2010 seven labour officers and six police officers raided the station.<ref name="scmp1" /> The government was searching for illegal workers from [[mainland China]] and raided the station. According to an editor, Jackie Xie Qian, the raid took place at 6:30 pm right before the news broadcast. The journalists were questioned.

But the government said the raid has nothing to do with the coverage.<ref name="scmp1" /> There were no illegal immigrants found.<ref name="scmp1" /><ref>Yahoo.com.hk.
