Fade to black: Glut means many Chinese TV series go unshown
BEIJING, Feb. 25 (Xinhua) -- It seems that there aren't enough
hours in the day to show all the TV series produced in China.
While China has become one of the world's major producers of
TVseries, almost half the episodes are never aired, a national
symposium on series has heard.
Attendees at the symposium learned that last year, 529 TV series
were produced, with 14,670 episodes. That was twice as manyepisodes
as were produced in 2000. The number of organizations making series
surged nearly six times between 2001 and 2007, to 2,511, a statement
from the symposium showed.
