CCTV-2

CCTV-2 is the finance and economics channel of China Central Television, with origins going back to May 1973 as the network's second programme service. Its schedule covers business news, market reports, consumer affairs and economic documentaries, including some of Chinese television's longest-running business strands, and it produces the high-profile annual consumer-rights gala broadcast every March. Finance has been part of the service's identity for decades, and it remains a default channel for major economic announcements. The channel broadcasts nationwide in Chinese, with an SD feed listed in the index. Official schedules and authorised viewing information are published on the channel's page at tv.cctv.com.
