    Didnt see this in another thread so...

    There is a new "news" channel there today .. CCTV 9 ...Central China TV .. it has loads of "China is great" type stuff on it (wouldnt exactly call it propaganda) ...

    Notice that "news" in this case is a bit of a misnomer .. they went on for around a half hour on something that seemed to be like and ard fheis for the communist party ...BORING ... then there was a why dont you have you holidays on Hainan island etc etc ....BORING ... I couldnt take it any more and started watching bear in the big blue house with my daughter ,...

    Hi all,

    CCTV 9 is not a news channel, it's CCTV's general entertainment English channel... although that's using the word entertainment in the broadest possible sense :)
    It is true there's a lot of "news" - again in a fairly broad pro-Communist party sense.
    CCTV has unvieled plans for a news channel, but that's likely to be in Mandarin.

    All this news, propaganda or otherwise, from across the planet and the "Mandarins" at Sky or the BBC won't give us BBC news 24 until BBC NI has gone to bed!
