Happy New Years everyone!
I am going to start 2010 with an update on the current Chinese Language TV in Los Angeles, January 2010 edition.
In September 2009, digital 62.2 started broadcasting out of City of Industry. HTTV USA (Hantian TV) is 24 hours of Mandarin language television. I didn't even know about this until a friend cancelled his cable because of all the free Chinese television available now.
The other free 24 hour Chinese stations in Los Angeles are 18.8, 44.6, 44.7. and 44.8. You can include 62.2 as part of that group now. 18.1 still has Chinese on for about 5-6 hours a day.
I currently have FiOS and get a few hours of Chinese programming on Channel 20 and 26 everynight. Channel 281 is a Bay Area station that runs 24 hours.
My parents recently switched to DirectTV's "MandarinDirect III" package. It includes CCTV-4, Tai Seng Sat TV, Phoenix North America, Phoenix InfoNews, CTI, TVB8, and TVBS. Pretty impressive. Although the Taiwanese Mega Pack and Great Wall TV package from Dish Network seems to have DirectTV beat.
I'll cross my fingers and hope FiOS gets these type of packages soon. I don't think my wife would like it. ~_~
Ok, that's the latest update from City of Angels. Go Lakers!
