Description
NTDTV began broadcasting via satellite in North America in February 2002. In April 2004, it became the first—and only—independent Chinese-language TV network to broadcast uncensored programming into China at a time when it was becoming clear that the Chinese language media market in the United States was increasingly dominated by foreign government-controlled media outlets. At present, the station's 24/7 satellite coverage reaches Asia, Europe, and Australia in several languages and fulfills the great need for uncensored and accurate news on China.
For example, in February 2003 NTDTV became the first media entity to broadcast news of the SARS epidemic to China—breaking the story fully three weeks before Party officials admitted to an outbreak.
