station in
Xinjiang
,
China
, administered by the

History
[
edit
]
Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps Radio and Television was preceded by
Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps Television Recording Centre
(
新疆生?建?兵????制中心
), which was established in early 1985.
[2]
The Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps began constructing a cable television station in 1993, with a test broadcast in May. The General Office of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps approved the establishment of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps Radio and Television on 25 March 1994. The Ministry of Radio, Film and Television of the People's Republic of China gave its approval on 19 July 1994.

Programs

Its service covers 12 of Xinjiang's 14
prefectures
, as well as the regional capital of
Urumqi
. On 1 July 2008, Bingtuan Satellite Television was overhauled with a new focus on music programs, in an effort to become the top youth music channel in China. However, after the
July 2009 Urumqi riots
, the
State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television
demanded that Bingtuan Satellite Television rectify its content. As a result, only a few programs, such as
Bingtuan News
and some
soap operas
, were kept.
[4]
The channel also began routinely rebroadcasting
CCTV-1
, the primary channel of
China Central Television
, and cancelled several of its previously planned entertainment shows, which would have been produced in partnership with a production company in
Beijing
.
