[edit] Recent developments
In 2007, the Shanghai Media Group plans to launch a new all-English channel [1] but as early as 2003 they are conducting a feasibility study before setting up a new channel[2] [3]. Once it is successful, the new channel will be China's second 24-hour TV channel to be broadcast nationwide and completely in English after CCTV-9.
China Central Television, Shanghai Media's bigger rival and controlled by the central government, now operates an international channel in English which targets a foreign audience.
Shanghai Media also aims to broadcast the planned English news channel to several foreign countries in Asia, Europe and North America through satellite transmission or cooperation with local broadcasters.
