  • From Western TV Sets to Chinese Online Streaming Services: English-Language TV Series in Mainland China
    . Volume 16, Issue 2 November 2019 From Western TV sets to Chinese online streaming services: English-language TV series in mainland China Xiaoran Zhang, University of Nottingham, UK Abstract: In the age of multiple screens, online streaming has in the 2010s become the most significant way of consuming overseas television programs in Mainland China. Due to rather strict government policy and censorship, foreign television series are presently only legally distributed and circulated on licensed online streaming services. Focusing on the streaming of US/UK TV series, this paper examines online streaming services’ distribution activities in order to understand both streaming websites’ business practices surrounding transnational TV and the features they employ to cater to online audiences for these series. To grasp how the online distribution of English-language TV series operates in China, I begin by looking at China’s five major video streaming services, analyzing the design of their interfaces, scheduling of programs, and accessibility for different tiers of users. I then examine how streaming services use social media as a major tool to promote their US and UK TV series. Through this analysis, I argue that transnational TV flow has had to be localized to achieve distribution and marketing goals in a Chinese context, resulting in the uniqueness of these streaming practices. This article concludes that, with the development of online streaming technologies, distinctive modes of audience consumption in China have informed the localization of this specific transnational TV content. Keywords: Online streaming, streaming consumption, television distribution, transnational TV, Tencent Video, HBO, Game of Thrones Introduction As one of HBO’s most successful high-end shows, Game of Thrones (2011-) has earned a worldwide reputation that includes the fandom of Chinese viewers.
