Xing Kong is a Mandarin-language television channel targeting Mainland China, currently owned by Star China Media (a subsidiary of China Media Capital). The channel was originally launched by Star TV in Hong Kong, but Star TV later sold the channel to China Media Capital. It was voted "Satellite Channel of the Year" at the 2002 China Television Programme Awards. The channel is packed with more than 700 hours of original programming each year, with content that includes drama series, music, news, cartoon, comedies, variety, lifestyle, health, food, home and living, talk and game shows. Xing Kong was similar to other Mandarin language entertainment channels like Star Chinese Channel in Taiwan (which was named Star) and Phoenix Chinese Channel (21st Century Fox sold its remaining shares in Phoenix Television in 2013).
