| MUMBAI:
The hit Chinese talent search reality show The Mongolian Cow Sour Yogurt Supergirl
Contest is being targeted by Chinese media regulators seeking to either change
the format or keep it off the air. The American Idol knockoff
was a huge hit for Hunan Satellite Television. The State Administration of Radio,
Film and Television (SARFT) has reservations about the show because it showed
contestants in "vulgar" clothing and so-called "low-class"
behavior, reports indicate. According to media reports,
SARFT has issued a notice indicating that talent shows will be more strictly regulated
in the future, and some will be banned from broadcast in certain regions. |
