China launches its first 3D TV channel

The channel, owned by China Central Television (CCTV), will officially launch on the upcoming Chinese New Year.

This channel can be watched by citizens who have 3D televisions. Such countries as Japan, South Korea and India already provide similar services to the population. Initially, the channel will broadcast 4.5 hours of 3D programs daily, which will be repeated twice a day.
"The launch of the 3D program is a significant step in the development of Chinese television," said Cai Fuhao, head of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT). Cai Fuhao, head of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT), said. Economists estimate the new service could generate huge revenue for the industry if 500 million television sets are replaced with 3D.
According to surveys, some Chinese people have agreed to replace their TV receivers, while others believe that we should wait until 3D TVs are available, which should be watched without stereoscopic glasses.
