Its service covers 12 of Xinjiang's 14 prefectures, as well as the regional capital of Ürümqi. On 1 July 2008, Bingtuan Satellite Television was overhauled with a new focus on music programs, in an effort to become the top youth music channel in China. However, after the 5 July Urumqi riots, the State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television demanded that Bingtuan Satellite Television rectify its content. As a result, only a few programs, such as "Bingtuan News" and some soap operas, were kept. The channel also began routinely rebroadcasting CCTV-1, the primary channel of China Central Television, and cancelled several of its previously planned entertainment shows, which would have been produced in partnership with a production company in Beijing.
