China Entertainment Television (CETV) was a Mandarin Chinese-language satellite television channel in the Greater China region, owned jointly by the Hong Kong-based TOM Group (majority shareholder) and the United States’ TBS Networks (36% shareholder). The broadcaster was originally based in Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong, but moved to Shenzhen, China since 2003.

At launch, the channel was known for its policy of "no sex, no violence and no news", despite the fact that its founder Robert Chua was known for his sexual activities, including the Hong Kong adult video magazine Le Club.[1]

On 25 October 2016, TOM Group announced that operations of the television station would be ceased at the end of 2016.[2][3] The Communications Authority approved to end its non-domestic television programme service licence on 23 December 2016 and it ceased broadcast on 31 December 2016.[4]
