Graft Probe Uncovers Dark Screen at Anhui TV

(Beijing) – A regional television station that once burned the airwaves with hot TV dramas and high ad revenues is in the spotlight again now that its top executives have been charged with corruption.

Graft inquiries have been rocking Anhui TV, a satellite TV service of central Anhui Province, since last September, when the station's advertising head Wang Maosheng was detained by Communist Party authorities. Since then, six other senior or former station executives have been arrested for alleged corruption, including former station chief Zhang Suzhou and former deputy chief Wu Tao.
