It's official: Channel targeted at foreigners to launch in Shanghai January 1
It's not an English-channel, per se, but rather a channel that will run programs in English, Japanese, and Korean. From Xinhua:
The International Channel Shanghai (ICS) is expected to serve as a window to showcase the economic and cultural development of Shanghai and also provide audience with entertainment and information, said Li Ruigang, president of Shanghai Media Group (SMG).
The ICS programs, covering news, information, fashion, entertainment, foreign TV shows and movies, will be aired in English and Japanese, with Chinese captions, for 19 hours a day.
The article points out that Shanghai was the first city in China to run English-language programs, beginning back in 1986.
