Eighteenth Floor Block C (Chinese: 十八楼C座) is a long term programme of Commercial Radio Hong Kong's Channel 1 which started broadcasting July 3, 1968 at 7:15 pm, the programme taking place in Wanchai's 'Chougei's Cafe' (周記冰室) where the protagonists are the employees and their loyal local customers. The broadcastings are recorded on the day of broadcast as they cover and talk about news events taking place in Hong Kong and throughout the world in a friendly manner. The current time of broadcast is on Mondays through Friday at 12:40-1:00 pm, repeats at 1:05-1:25 on the same day.

At first, the name Eighteenth Floor Block C came from the Hong Kong 1967 Leftist riot where Hong Kong Commercial Radio's anchor Lin Binsheng lived, in Waterloo Block D. Commercial Radio's founder George Ho (何佐芝) came up with the programme's name but when was asked how he simply said "I can't be bothered explaining" ("费时解.")
