The new service is operated by state run China Central Television (CCTV) and five other local TV stations in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Jiangsu. The channel, that will be broadcasted for 4.5 hours and rebroadcasted twice, will require very little amount of advanced technology to be accessible to those who want to try it. Citizens who wish to avail this facility will need to have high resolution TV sets and compatible set-top boxes. The service is expected to be popular as the viewers will be taken to much real level of viewing experience. On a trial basis, 3D programs will be aired regularly from 10:30 hours to 24:00 hours.
China being a fast emerging market is expected to see a huge growth in the television industry. The broadcast controller in China expects to generate substantial amount of revenue if future permits the replacement of the existing television sets. Currently, there are over 500 million TV sets in China. If the trial channel gains popularity, the step would be a milestone in Chinese industry.
Asia, some European countries and rest of the world saw a sudden technological pace in this area in 2010. The countries like Japan, India and South Korea have already started these services. China also expects to tap this potential for the betterment of present services.
