IIRC - Li Wei-Ling - the host of a weekday Apple Daily talk show (and who loves the students to death and supports them), had Joshua Wong on her show on Nov 5th and was pressing him to consider withdrawal. Joshua said he would do that only if there was an alternative that would give equal pressure and that he couldn't think of anything.
She had Alex Chow on the phone yesterday, and pressed him as well. Her and her co-host were actually quite exasperated with him. Her co-host bluntly said to Alex, "You started on a high, and now you've fallen off the pedestal.". Li Wei-ling gave a suggestion to Alex regarding taking the movement to the next stage - suggesting mass door-to-door canvassing.
Stephen Shiu Yeuk-yuen (a pro-dem host) went to Admiralty one evening in late Oct and appealed to people to go on Joshua Wong's and HKFS' Facebooks to get them to consider a stance that would make China feel more secure about national security. He also said that they should withdraw from occupying areas that affect ordinary citizens and to consider surrounding Legco only.
