CCTV-6

CCTV-6, widely known as China Movie Channel, is the national film channel, launched in January 1996. Its schedule is built around feature films — Chinese classics and contemporary releases alongside international titles — plus film news, interviews, behind-the-scenes features and coverage of major film festivals and awards. Unusually for the CCTV family, the channel is produced by a dedicated programme centre affiliated with the film authorities rather than by CCTV itself, though it carries the CCTV-6 brand. It broadcasts nationwide in Chinese, with HD and SD versions listed in the index. Official schedules and authorised viewing information are published on the channel's page at tv.cctv.com.
