  China Central Television - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
China Central Television or Chinese Central Television, commonly abbreviated as CCTV (Chinese: 中国中央电视台 pinyin: Zhōngguó Zhōngyāng Diànshìtái), is the major broadcast television network in Mainland China.
Organizationally it is a subministry of the People's Republic of China's central government within the State Administration of Radio, Television, and Film and as such it does not have any editorial independence from the PRC government.
Like many media outlets in China, CCTV has had its state subsidy reduced dramatically in the 1990s, and hence finds it necessary to balance its role as a government agency with the practical fact that it must attract viewers so that it can sell commercial advertising.

Then came the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), during which television's functions became a single one: to publicize, explain, and express "class struggles." Antiimperialism, anti-revisionism, and anti-capitalism policies were erected for fulfilling the task of class struggle.
Television's central task is to serve as the mouthpiece of the leadership, and is regarded as both a political institution and an ideological apparatus.
Television is under the direct leadership and control of the Party and run by the government.
