After months
of preparation, Auckland-based World Television (WTV) started
its 24-hour, quality TV programming on Chinese TV8 from
13th August 2007; its latest commercial venture to make
a mark on the local community.
Chinese TV8 programme line-up includes popular drama series;
news and current affairs from mainland China, Hong Kong
and Taiwan; variety shows of diverse formats; documentaries
with an Asian emphasis, as well as a wide range of `infotainment'.
Another breakthrough
for Chinese TV8 is the daily live-feed (visual and audio)
of radio current affairs programmes with Chinese Voice
Broadcasting AM936 in selected hours. With this cross-media
platform, programme hosts can fully understand the views
from local communities through call-ins. Thus empower
Chinese TV8 with the strength of media and serves as
the bridge between NZ mainstream society and Chinese
communities
