**Phoenix Television** is a majority [state-owned](/source/State-owned_enterprise) television network that operates [Mandarin](/source/Standard_Chinese) and [Cantonese](/source/Cantonese)-language channels serving [mainland China](/source/Mainland_China), [Hong Kong](/source/Hong_Kong), [Macau](/source/Macau), and other regions with significant Chinese-speaking audiences. It is headquartered in [Shenzhen](/source/Shenzhen) and [Hong Kong](/source/Hong_Kong) and is also registered in the [Cayman Islands](/source/Cayman_Islands).[1]

The network was founded by Liu Changle (劉長樂), who previously served as an officer and political instructor in the [People's Liberation Army](/source/People's_Liberation_Army) with the [40th Group Army](/source/40th_Group_Army).[2] Following the [Cultural Revolution](/source/Cultural_Revolution), Liu worked as a journalist for the [Chinese Communist Party](/source/Chinese_Communist_Party) (CCP)-controlled [China National Radio](/source/China_National_Radio) and maintained close ties with the CCP leadership.[3] He is also a standing member of the [National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference](/source/National_Committee_of_the_Chinese_People's_Political_Consultative_Conference).[4]

Phoenix Television identifies itself as a [Hong Kong media](/source/Media_of_Hong_Kong) organisation,[5] but it holds a non-domestic television programme services licence in Hong Kong.[6] The majority of its customers and non-current assets are located in mainland China.[7] Its largest shareholder is [Bauhinia Culture](https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%B4%AB%E8%8D%86%E6%96%87%E5%8C%96%E9%9B%86%E5%9B%A2), a company wholly owned by the [Chinese government](/source/Government_of_China).[8] [Freedom House](/source/Freedom_House) characterises Phoenix Television as pro-Beijing,[9] while [Stephen McDonell](/source/Stephen_McDonell) of [BBC News](/source/BBC_News) noted that it is "sometimes more liberal than its mainland counterparts".[10]

The company's head offices are located in [Shenzhen](/source/Shenzhen), [Guangdong](/source/Guangdong), and [Tai Po](/source/Tai_Po), [Hong Kong](/source/Hong_Kong), with correspondent offices in [Beijing](/source/Beijing) and [Shanghai](/source/Shanghai). The Shenzhen office produces about half of its television output.[11]

## History

Phoenix Television originated as a joint venture between [Star TV](/source/Disney_Networks_Group_Asia_Pacific) in [Hong Kong](/source/Hong_Kong), a private company in China, and [China Central Television](/source/China_Central_Television).[12]

The Phoenix Chinese Channel was launched on 31 March 1996, replacing [Star Chinese Channel](/source/Star_Chinese_Channel) in [Hong Kong](/source/Hong_Kong) and [mainland China](/source/Mainland_China).[13] Broadcasts in [Singapore](/source/Singapore) began on 1 December 1996 via the [Singapore Cable Vision](/source/StarHub_TV) network. In its early years, the Phoenix Chinese Channel also carried Mandarin-dubbed American series during primetime hours, including *[The X-Files](/source/The_X-Files)* and *[Baywatch](/source/Baywatch)*.[14]

[Phonenix CNE](/source/Phoenix_Chinese_News_and_Entertainment_Channel) began broadcasting in Europe on 1 August 1999, and the [Phoenix North America Chinese Channel](/source/Phoenix_North_America_Chinese_Channel) launched for audiences across the Americas on 1 January 2001. In 2005, a [California](/source/California)-based broadcast and engineering director for the network, Tai Wang Mak, was arrested for conspiring with his brother, [Chi Mak](/source/Chi_Mak), to act as an intelligence agent for China.[15] He was sentenced to ten years in prison in 2008.[16][17]

On 28 March 2011, Phoenix Television launched the [Phoenix Hong Kong Channel](/source/Phoenix_Hong_Kong_Channel), which broadcasts exclusively in [Cantonese](/source/Cantonese).[18]

On 31 March 2011, [Phoenix InfoNews Channel](/source/Phoenix_InfoNews_Channel) was recognised with a [Peabody Award](/source/Peabody_Awards) for its "Report on a New Generation of Migrant Workers in China".[19]

In 2011, Phoenix New Media partnered with the [BBC](/source/BBC_Television) to distribute the broadcaster's programmes on its digital media platforms. In 2012, it entered into a similar agreement with the [National Film Board of Canada](/source/National_Film_Board_of_Canada), under which 130 animated shorts and documentary films were made available digitally in China.[20]

In October 2013, [21st Century Fox](/source/21st_Century_Fox) sold its 12.15% stake in Phoenix Television (held through Star) to [TPG Capital](/source/TPG_Inc.) for HK$1.66 billion (US$213 million).[21][22][23]

In February 2016, Phoenix Television broadcast [forced confessions](/source/Forced_confession) of [kidnapped Hong Kong booksellers](/source/Causeway_Bay_Books_disappearances).[24][25][9]

In June 2020, the [FCC](/source/Federal_Communications_Commission) ordered [XEWW-AM](/source/XEWW-AM), owned by Phoenix Television, to cease broadcasting in the United States.[26]

The Taiwanese government designated Phoenix Television as a Chinese government-funded company in April 2022 and required it to cease operations in Taiwan.[27]

During the [Russian invasion of Ukraine](/source/Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine), a Phoenix Television reporter was among the few foreign journalists to embed with the [Russian military](/source/Russian_Armed_Forces).[28]

## Corporate governance

### Ownership

At its launch, Star TV and a private company in China each held 45% of Phoenix Television, while state broadcaster [China Central Television](/source/China_Central_Television) owned the remaining 10%.[12]

The shares held by the original [News Corporation](/source/News_Corporation) (and later [21st Century Fox](/source/21st_Century_Fox)) through Star were gradually reduced over the years. In October 2013, 21st Century Fox sold its remaining stake to [TPG Capital](/source/TPG_Capital).[29][21][22][23]

According to the company's 2018[*[needs update](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Chronological_items)*] annual report, its ownership structure was as follows:[1]

Name Shares Percentage Note Today's Asia Limited 1,854,000,000 37.13% Wholly owned by Liu Changle. Extra Step Investments Limited 983,000,000 19.69% A company owned by China Mobile Hong Kong, which is a part of state-owned China Mobile. TPG China Media, L.P. 607,000,000 12.16% Part of TPG Capital, beneficially controlled by David Bonderman and James Coulter.[1] China Wise International Limited 412,000,000 8.25% Owned by Bank of China, which is controlled by Central Huijin Investment, a subsidiary of the sovereign wealth fund China Investment Corporation, which reports to the State Council of the People's Republic of China.

In April 2021, Liu Changle sold most of his shares to the state-owned publisher Bauhinia Culture and [Shun Tak Holdings](/source/Shun_Tak_Holdings).[30][31]

### Management

Liu Changle (劉長樂), founder and CEO of Phoenix Television, previously worked as a journalist for the Chinese Communist Party-controlled [China National Radio](/source/China_National_Radio) following the [Cultural Revolution](/source/Cultural_Revolution). By the 1990s, he had become one of China's wealthiest individuals and maintained strong connections to the Beijing leadership.[2][3]

Shuang Liu (刘爽) was appointed chief operating officer (COO) of Phoenix Television on 17 February 2014. He also serves as CEO of [Phoenix New Media Ltd](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Phoenix_New_Media_Ltd&action=edit&redlink=1) (NYSE: FENG), a Chinese digital media company.[32]

Chung Pong, a former director of Phoenix Television news, testified under oath that the network's programming was "subject to the dictates of the leadership of the Central Communist Propaganda Department, Central Communist Overseas Propaganda Office, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."[33]
