China Media Group launched it's first domestic superstar TV channel – CCTV 4K Ultra HD channel on Monday, October 1.  The channel will broadcast 18 hours per day from 6 a.m. to midnight starting October 2.
The channel will continue to provide viewers with many 4K programs including documentaries, sports events, TV series and cartoons.
At that time, the first batch of cable TV network users in 13 municipalities and provinces such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong are expected to have a good time.
4K Ultra HD TV is a rapidly developing, emerging technology. Compared with existing high-definition and standard TV systems, 4K Ultra HD TV is a technical upgrade.
By providing high-quality 4K Ultra HD programs and enhancing the viewing experience, China Media Group stars a new journey of upgrading its production and broadcasting system.
The follow-up construction will be carried out in stages from 2019 to 2021, when the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 2019 will adopt 4K Ultra HD TV broadcasting.
The launch of the 4K channel marks a solid step for China Media Group to create a new world-class mainstream media target with strong leadership, communication and influence.
