China Global Television Network (CGTN; Chinese: 中国国际电视台; pinyin: Zhōngguó guójì diànshìtái or Chinese: 中国环球电视网; pinyin: Zhōngguó Huánqiú Diànshì Wǎng[1]), formerly CCTV International, is a group of six international multi-language television channels owned and operated by China Central Television (CCTV), a nationally owned media organization in China.[2] CGTN produces mostly innocuous content but has at times pushed propaganda on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party.[3][4]

History

All six non-Chinese language television channels under CCTV International were simultaneously relaunched at 4:00 am GMT (midday BJT), on 31 December 2016 to bear the CGTN name.[5] CCTV-4, the international channel in Mandarin Chinese, was not a part of this rebranding.[citation needed]
