Chinese New Year Screening on Triangle and Stratos
From Press Release: Triangle Television
Chinese New Year Phenomenon Screening on Triangle Television and Stratos
New Zealanders will join an estimated
international audience of 700 million next week
when Triangle Television and Stratos broadcast
the phenomenal Chinese New Year celebrations live from Beijing.
This incredible cultural highlight, direct from
China's CCTV, is a breathtaking spectacle of
drama, comedy, acrobatics, opera, song, dance,
innovation and tradition, which has drawn
record-breaking audiences annually since the early 1990s.
Each year this glittering extravaganza brings
homes and businesses across the Chinese mainland
to a standstill * and even in tiny villages,
where television is rare, people gather together to watch as a community.
Last year the show attracted a wide audience on
Triangle Television in Auckland and Wellington.
This year, as well as screening on Triangle's
Auckland and Wellington stations, the show will
be broadcast on Stratos Television, making it
available to Freeview Channel 21 and Sky Channel
89 viewers throughout the country.
Triangle and Stratos Television Chief Executive
Officer Jim Blackman says: "Anyone who has
experienced Chinese New Year anywhere in the
world will know what a fantastic celebration it
is. It is nothing short of amazing, and has huge
appeal to New Zealand's Chinese communities as
well as to many other Kiwi viewers."
The broadcast has been arranged by Triangle
Television and Stratos Television in association
with the Embassy of the People's Republic of
China and the New Zealand Charitable Association
(a support group for new immigrants) in response
to a call from Chinese students and those without
a digital television service who want desperately
to join in the celebrations from their homeland.
THE SHOW WILL BE BROADCAST ON TRIANGLE TELEVISION
AND STRATOS TELEVISION FROM MIDNIGHT ON FEBRUARY 6 UNTIL 5AM ON FEBRUARY 7.
This is not-to-be-missed television!
