Terrestrial television
There is no standard English translation of the name. Variants in use include "Evening News" and "Network News Broadcast". An Oxford dictionary gives "news hook-up". The Chinese name contains two words: "Xinwen" (/) meaning "news" and "Lianbo" (/) closely translating to "joint broadcast" or "simulcast", referring to the fact that material is broadcast by all provincial and municipal television stations (usually their flagship channel) in China, which guarantee that audience could watch the programme by Terrestrial television all over the country. And all the provincial TV stations have correspondents and reporters that are obliged to provide the programme with news reports and features from their respective areas.
