Reality Show Broadcasts to be Restricted, Netizens Displeased

Rumours have circulated that The State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television intends to restrict the broadcast of reality shows such that each satellite service may only transmit one season of one show per year. Additionally, the content must reflect the lives of ordinary people and not exaggerate or fake reality. It’s thought that SARFT does not approve of the currently popular slew of celebrity based reality shows, and prefer more down to earth ‘working class hero’ material. Netizens complained this would worsen the lack of quality TV, with one saying that soon only ads would be approved.
