CCTV meaning in Community ?

China Central Television (CCTV) is a Chinese state-controlled broadcaster controlled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). CCTV has a network of 50 channels broadcasting different programmes and is accessible to more than one billion viewers in six different languages. Most of its programmes are a mixture of news, documentary, social education, comedy, entertainment, and drama, the majority of which consists of Chinese soap operas and entertainment. However, news reporting about topics which are sensitive to the CCP is distorted and often used as a weapon against the party's perceived enemies. CCTV is operated by the National Radio and Television Administration which reports directly to the CCP Propaganda Department.

CCTV was established on 1 May 1958 to be a state-owned news and public opinion steering agency, acting as a mouthpiece of the CCP. CCTV has a variety of functions, such as news communication, social education, culture, and entertainment information services. As a state television station it is responsible to both the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party and the State Council. It is the central player in the Chinese government's propaganda network.
