Satellite stations allowed one foreign program each year
October 31, 2013 Category Uncategorized
China will allow satellite television stations to buy the rights to broadcast only one foreign program each year from next year as part of new restrictions to push “morality-building” and educational shows. The campaign could push domestic viewers away from broadcast television toward pre-recorded shows downloaded from the internet to computers and mobile devices. The English-language Shanghai Daily said the new restrictions were intended to crack down on the growing practice of buying the copyright of proven foreign shows like Britain’s Got Talent, and then localizing them without further modification.
