''Xinwen Lianbo'' (, literally "News Simulcast") is a daily news programme produced by China Central Television (CCTV). It is shown simultaneously by most terrestrial television channels in mainland China, making it one of the world's most-watched programmes. It has been broadcast since 1 January 1978.〔 This program is used as a medium for the state to announce government announcements and meetings, commentaries on major economic and policy issues, and the activities of national leaders. The program reflects official positions of the Chinese government on a wide range of matters. Some accuse the program as serving more as a means for the state to divulge its political agenda rather than to examine the day's important news events. It has been criticized both within China and internationally for its lack of neutrality. Despite declining popularity, it remains a widely watched program. ==Name, format and distribution== There is no standard English translation of the name. Variants in use include "Evening News" and "Network News Broadcast". An Oxford dictionary gives ''news hook-up''. The Chinese name contains two words: "''Xinwen''" (/) meaning "news" and "''Lianbo''" (/) closely translating to "joint broadcast" or "simulcast", referring to the fact that material is broadcast by all government television channels in China. The programme consists of a daily news bulletin of approximately thirty minutes, beginning with the headlines and proceeding to detailed reports.〔See the ''Duowei'' external link below, ''passim''.〕 In special circumstances, the broadcast is extended beyond the 30 minutes allotted when deemed necessary. For example, during the 1990s, the death of Deng Xiaoping extended ''Xinwen Lianbo'' broadcast beyond the regular time for over a week. The announcers are shown seated, with a window into the control room behind them.〔See this edition at 00:16, where a lady clearly walks behind the window: 〕 The format has hardly varied for three decades, even its details. Mandarin language is always used, in accordance with government language policies, and throughout the broadcast the language is formal and flowery.〔See Li, op. cit., 'Case 5: National People's Congress', for an abridged and translated transcript.〕 The delivery is stilted, without happy talk or humour. Prior to January 2013, ''Xinwen Lianbo'' never included "two-ways" (where the anchor conducts direct dialogue with a reporter or a commentator) and live reports before January 2013, (although it did air live reports of the launch of the Chang'e 2 lunar satellite on October 1, 2010). The first live report was made on January 26, 2013.They have implemented only Vizrt-powered graphics since the September 25, 2011 newscast. , the opening titles and music had been substantially unchanged since 1989.〔 The programme justifies its title with a comprehensive distribution system that has led the ''Washington Post'' to dub it "one of the world's most-watched news programs." Calculations based on official statistics suggest as many as 135 million people tune in each day, which makes sense if one considers the large number people who live in China.〔 The ''Wall Street Journal'' calculated in 2006 that it had fourteen times the audience of the highest-rated US news show. The initial 19:00 CST of primetime television evening-nightly news bulletin is broadcast simultaneously on CCTV-1 and CCTV-13 (simulcast on CCTV)and on the primary channel of each three municipalities stations (Beijing Television, Radio and Television of Shanghai, Shanghai Television, Shanghai Satellite Television, Shanghai Mandarin Oriental Television and Tianjin Television). CCTV-13 usually repeats the programme at 9:00 pm (21:00 hours), CCTV-4 usually repeats the programme at 2:30 am (02:30 hours) and CCTV-1 usually repeats the programme at 12:30 am (00:30), 5:30 am (05:30) and 12:30 pm (12:30) while there are later repeats dubbed into selected minority languages for viewers in appropriate regions (as of 2006, at least Mongolian and Tibetan). This ensures that urban cable viewers may see around half the available channels carrying the programme, while it is often carried on all the available terrestrial television channels in rural China. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Xinwen Lianbo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
