History edit
In 1998, TVB's subsidiary TVB Satellite Broadcasting Limited established TVB8 and TVB Xing He to enter overseas Chinese satellite TV market.[2] TVB8 and TVB Xing He were approved by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television of the People's Republic of China for the Mainland China viewers.[citation needed]
On 1 January 2018, TVB Xing He revamped their channel's appearance and program line, omitting Mainland Chinese dramas from the roster. However, they still continue for Mainland Chinese variety shows. They also added an extra channel to simulcast the audio in Mandarin & Cantonese, in lieu of the traditional audio inputs from one's television.[citation needed]
