No red carpet for the Chinese public television channel! CCTV canceled its usual coverage of the Oscars on February 9 at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles on Wednesday in response to the worsening coronavirus epidemic in China, according to information from The Hollywood Reporter .
Entertainment broadcasts at half mast
The Chinese public television channel CCTV will content itself with broadcasting a recorded recording on its channel specialized in cinema CCTV6. The ceremony will be broadcast live on its internal streaming platform M1905. But the network's regular television team and the red carpet journalist team will remain at home in China. The remaining cover will be produced from Beijing.
A decision in line with the request of the Chinese media regulator who urges the media to reduce entertainment programs and devote the widest coverage to the health crisis.
