China Media Group (CMG) released the program lineup for the highly anticipated 2025 Spring Festival Gala on Tuesday. This year's gala promises a spectacular blend of performances, including songs, dances, skits, cross-talk, operas, martial arts, magic, and more, aiming to bring the festive spirit of the Chinese New Year to viewers worldwide.

The gala airs on January 28 at 8 p.m. Beijing Time across multiple CMG television channels, including CCTV-1, CCTV-3, CCTV-4, and dedicated 4K and 8K ultra-high-definition channels. It will also be available on various CMG radio frequencies and new media platforms.

This year, CMG introduces accessibility features for visually and hearing-impaired viewers. Visually impaired viewers can tune in to CMG's live audio broadcast, while hearing-impaired audiences can enjoy the gala with customized accessibility features on CMG's news app and video platforms. 

The gala will be broadcast internationally via CGTN in English, Spanish, French, Arabic and Russian alongside its 82-language global media network. More than 2,900 media outlets in over 200 countries and regions will carry the live broadcast and coverage of the event. 

For the first time, CMG has also partnered with five major global news alliances, the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union, the Arab States Broadcasting Union, the African Union of Broadcasting, the European News Exchange, and the Latin American News Alliance, to promote the gala worldwide. 

The Spring Festival Gala, often referred to as Chunwan in China, has been a cherished tradition since its debut in 1983. It's renowned for bringing families together and showcasing China's cultural richness and creativity.

As the countdown to the Year of the Snake begins, the 2025 Spring Festival Gala is set to be a dazzling cultural feast, offering a blend of modernity and tradition while emphasizing inclusivity and global connections.
