The Shandong Province Finance Bureau has invested RMB 25 mln in an effort to deploy the "Huhutong" rural direct-broadcast satellite (DBS) connectivity project in areas beyond the reach of standard cable TV services to provide free TV reception to 200,000 households. Once completed, households covered by the project will receive 25 TV channels, including CCTV and local stations, and 17 radio stations.
