Jilin Radio and Television Station is a provincial-level state broadcaster based in Changchun, the capital of China’s northeast Jilin province. It was formed on October 31, 2018 through the merger of two older state outlets — Jilin People’s Broadcasting Station (吉林人民广播電台) and Jilin Television (吉林電視台) — under the Jilin Province Institutional Reform Plan, approved by the Party Central Committee and State Council. JLRTV runs eight radio frequencies covering a range of formats including news, traffic, music, and rural programming, as well as seven television channels, among them Jilin Satellite Television, which is distributed nationally across China. The station is directly owned by the Jilin Provincial People’s Government, and its content is supervised by the Propaganda Office of the Jilin Provincial Communist Party Committee.
