Television--Management Medicine on television--China Television broadcasting--China
Yang-sheng television shows are health-related programs that introduce suggestions on Chinese medicine, diet and fitness, generally targeted to senior audiences. There are over 1300 yang-sheng programs on Chinese television, but only a few can be named by audiences. Most of the shows are not well-produced and have no specific characters. The format lacks creativity. These shows are very similar to each other, because once a program gains popularity, it is often imitated. By studying four well-known shows, Yang Sheng Tang, The X Doctor, The Encyclopedia Talk Show and Health Matters the Most, the research concludes that there should be more medical professionals joining the production teams, not as consultants, but highly involved in the production process.
