Coaxial cable
Since the late 1950s, people in Pearl River Delta began to receive channels from Hong Kong with Coaxial cable (1957-1973) and Yagi-Uda antenna (1967 onwards). Hong Kong channels were considered more entertaining and had Cantonese shows. Such reception was banned by central government, but semi-accepted by local government. By the late 1980s, local channels began to syndicate shows from Hong Kong.
