国家新闻出版广电总局在官网发布通知,对卫视综合频道黄金时段电视剧播出方式进行调整,同一部电视剧每晚黄金时段联播的卫视综合频道不得超过两家。以后黄金时段热门电视剧霸占遥控器、挥之不去的情况会有所缓解。
China's media watchdog has announced a new policy regarding the broadcasting of TV dramas.
Starting from next year, each new TV series can only be aired by two different television networks, which is down from the current four.
The new policy also sets a cap of two episodes per night.
The administrative bureau released a statement explaining that the new policy is meant to balance the variety of programs and optimize channel resources.
Business insiders have been speculating on the new policy for some time.
What surprises them most is the limit on the number of episodes that can be broadcast.
They're predicting that the new regulations could impact such things as time schedule, the purchase of TV dramas, advertisement slots, and even the actors salaries.
