The only TV channels legally available in China are via China Central Television (CCTV). Every single channel is CCTV. I’ve heard rumors of people with satellite dishes that can get channels from all over, but these are illegal. Who knows what would happen if you were caught with one.
I find it mildly amusing that China Central Television (CCTV) has the same acronym as closed-circuit television. A great big national closed-circuit TV system. That’s what they offer over here, and that’s what I have to watch.
Its news reporting follows parameters directed by the Propaganda Department of the Communist Party of China.
I’m hoping that I can see just a little bit of the British Open golf tournament, which starts on Thursday (tomorrow).
