History
Hunan Broadcasting System first aired on 1 October 1970 as a local television station in Changsha, Hunan province, China. It expanded its network through nationwide satellite television on 1 January 1997.
Hunan Broadcasting System's nationwide channel Hunan Satellite Television (Hunan TV) created Happy Camp, one of China's first variety shows. Happy Camp remained as China's highest-rated TV show, until its ratings were overtaken in 2008 by Jiangsu TV's If You Are the One. Hunan TV was also known for launching national singing contests Super Girl and Super Boy fashioned after the British series Pop Idol . Hunan TV also aired many highly rated dramas including Palace and Scarlet Heart.
Hunan Broadcasting System took a 49% stake in Qinghai TV in 2009, increasing the number of satellite channels in its roster.
Hunan TV is currently China's second most-watched channel, second only to CCTV-1, owned by China Central Television, although Hunan TV occasionally overtakes CCTV-1 in ratings.
