FT reports that state-owned China Global Television Network will be launching in the UK at the end of September. Platforms are not stated but the launch has been in the offing for a long time pending visas so the platform deals could already be in place.

The broadcaster has about 100 journalists in London, who will from late September be expected to produce around one hour of programmes for its global 24-hour channel. The channel currently broadcasts 13 hours of content from Beijing, seven from Washington and four from Nairobi each day. A tech programme and a weekend talk show will be among the first programmes produced by CGTN Europe. One person briefed on its plans said production would be expanded in October and again in early 2020.
