I want my CCTV

I know you do. I really do. It’s the most-searched phrase that leads readers to the China Sports Blog: “CCTV-5 schedule.” Everyone in the world watches CCTV-5, China Central Television’s all-sports all-the-time television channel. And everyone wants to read an English-language schedule, and none exists. It’s a shame because the miracle of satellite television makes it possible for ping-pong fans in Germany and women’s volleyball fans in the United States to watch great coverage from China, where both of those sports are a very big deal. (I know, ping pong is big in Germany too, but still.) Anyway, here’s what I’ve got: links to the CCTV websites, which of course are in Chinese. As much as I’m able (very helpful if you email me with specific requests), I’ll keep an eye out for coverage of big events and will post it here on the CSB.

    This is so right. I just spend the last hour trying to find even a Chinese Schedule of CCTV 5. The above links only lead to Thingies regarding CCTV 1 I'm afraid, navigation on the site itself turns out to be impossible for not working links.

    By the way, an Englisch schedule of CCTV 5 would also be highly appreciated by ppl who are actually in China without allround insights into Chinese and like to watch sports, for example Champions League. Just try to imagine you go through all the trouble convincing your girlfriend of the neccessity to get up with you at 3 in the morning just to find out that they happen not to broadcast just this one "most important ever" CL Game after all…
