Overseas broadcasting

[edit]

Mainland China

[edit]

Due to the needs of reform and opening up, TVB Jade was broadcast by some cable providers in Guangdong in the 1990s, and officially obtained the right to broadcast legally in Guangdong Province in September 2004. AfterATV Homestopped broadcasting, TVB Jade became the only overseas Cantonese TV channel that could legally broadcast in Guangdong Province.

Some programmes broadcast on TVB Jade will be censored by Guangdong authorities (like some pre-2020RTHK-produced political and current affairs programmes, "sensitive" news clips, or TVB dramas that was banned by the mainland authorities) and they will insert some entertainment programmes, their own advertisements or Hong Kong Government's promotional clips instead.

During the "National Day of Mourning", access to TVB channels (Jade andPearl) was blocked and some cable providers in Guangdong switched their Jade and Pearl feeds toCCTV-1,but Guangdong Cable only blocked Jade's and Pearl's entertainment programmes and advertisements.
