CGTN Documentary (formerly CCTV-9 until 31 December 2016) is a Chinese pay television channel operated by the China Global Television Network (CGTN) group, owned by Chinese state broadcaster China Central Television (CCTV). The channel broadcasts documentaries in the English language, and is China's first state-level English-language documentary channel to broadcast globally.

It used to share the "CCTV-9" name with its sister documentary channel in Mandarin Chinese. The channel has also been known to carry some Mandarin-language programmes with English subtitles; it broadcasts new programming between 7:00pm and 11:00pm Beijing time, and repeats archival programming at other times.[citation needed]

Availability[]

In Macau, the digital terrestrial television operator TDM relays the channel on channel 74. In Hong Kong, the digital terrestrial television provider RTHK used to relay the channel as RTHK TV 33 on channel 33, but on 29 May 2017, RTHK began relaying CCTV-1 in its place after a short filler. In Pakistan, the channel is aired on different cable systems, including the PTCL (Pakistan Tele Communication Landline).

In Europe it can be received unencrypted by satellites[5]Hotbird and Astra and in Italy on platform Tivùsat at LCN 88.[6]
