Phoenix Television is a majority state-owned television network that offers Mandarin and Cantonese-language channels that serve mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and other markets with substantial Chinese-language viewers. It is headquartered in Shenzhen and Hong Kong. It is also registered in Cayman Islands.[2]
The founder of Phoenix TV, Liu Changle (劉長樂), was an officer and political instructor in the People's Liberation Army in its 40th Group Army.[3] He later became a journalist for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-controlled China National Radio after the Cultural Revolution and remains well-connected to the CCP's leadership.[4] Liu is a standing member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.[5]
Phoenix Television calls itself a Hong Kong media outlet[6] but holds a non-domestic television programme services license in Hong Kong.[7] Most of the company's customers and non-current assets come from mainland China.[8] Bauhinia Culture, a company wholly owned by the Chinese government, is its largest shareholder. Freedom House describes Phoenix Television as pro-Beijing.[9] Stephen McDonell of BBC News described the outlet as "sometimes more liberal than its mainland counterparts".[10]
The company's head offices are located in Shenzhen, Guangdong and Tai Po, Hong Kong and it also has correspondent offices in Beijing and Shanghai. The Shenzhen office is said to produce half its TV output.[11]
