China promised OTA HDTV in 2008, and they're not waiting to deliver it. Starting January 1, China's Central Television HD station moves from digital cable-only to the airwaves in Beijing, and progressing to the rest of the country over the next few years. Viewers may need a new set-top box to receive CCTV's DMB-T signals, and it will be broadcast on all public antennas and cable systems. Between the Olympics, CH-DVD, and cheap HDM players 2008 will be a year of many interesting developments for high definition in China.Disney exporting 'Lost' and 'Grey's Anatomy' to China's HDTV station

What's the best way for a new station to fill their airways with quality, high-def programming? Buy someone else's and that is exactly what China's state run HDTV station is doing. China Central Television High-Definition is purchasing the broadcast rights for two of Disney's premier high-def shows: Lost and Grey's Anatomy. This will be the first time that Disney has ever licensed out their programming so you can bet that China paid a bunch of money for these rights.
