CCTV-14 is a Chinesefree-to-air television channel that was launched on 28 December 2003 and is owned by theChina Central Television. It airs animated films and series as well as kids game shows and other young-oriented programmes.
Before its launch, CCTV children's programs were broadcast on CCTV-7.
Test transmissions of the channel were started on 8 December 2003. Its first broadcast was made on 10 December 2003 with a duration of 16 hours. The channel was made available on UHF channel 33 in the Beijing area; most of the other CCTV channels (exceptCCTV-1 andCCTV-2) were only available on cable and satellite television at the time.[1] CCTV-14 was formally launched on 28 December 2003 as CCTV-Children and was split from CCTV-7. As of August 2006, when the government began enacting a ban on foreign-made animated series between 5 and 8pm taking effect from 1 September, most of its programming was produced in China; competing channels from local networks were more dependent on dubbed foreign programming, especially Korean, American and Japanese.[2] On 1 January 2011, the channel was renamed to CCTV-14.
Since 2013, CCTV-14 has aired theCCTV New Year's Gala.
In August 2019, the channel produced an adapted version ofThe Selfish Giant, titledThe Giants Garden, a live musical phenomenon with a cast of nearly 300 of Shanghai's top child actors. It was presented in English instead of Mandarin and broadcast to all of the People's Republic of China. The show was met with acclaim,[citation needed] and aided in installing a yearly tradition of the channel producing a musical to be broadcast entirely in English with original music.
