In return for carrying programming from China on its cable operations in Los Angeles, Houston and New York, AOL Time Warner has announced that it has permission to show some limited programming in China's Guangdon province through its recently-acquired China Entertainment Television network, based in Hong Kong. CETV will be included in a basic package of services offered to up to 7m cable subscribers in Hong Kong, although the Chinese government acknowledged that many people in China can receive television broadcasts from Hong Kong, despite bans on foreign broadcasts.
