- In entertainment part, "Putonghua shall be used by the broadcasting and TV stations as the basic broadcasting language."(Law, Article 12) This law caused the dialect TV show are decreased gradually. For me, I born in Chongqing, and when I was in primary school, there still are lots of dialect TV shows. However, it is hard to find the dialect TV show now, or only can find the old episode occupationally. Unfortunately, the government still discourage about the dialect TV shows, which has more influence in some cities that has huge influx of outsider, such as Shanghai.
- The dialect program "Shanghai Dialect Talk" closed after the channel started to broadcast by the satellite, due to the requirement that ‘‘You cannot use dialects on satellite channels in order to make it easier for other people to understand.’’ (Tatlow) But it is not the fist dialect TV show that was closed in 2014, "Mr. Qi said the show was the latest of three in the Shanghai dialect to be canceled since last fall. The other two were a news show and a Mandarin-language television drama dubbed in Shanghainese but halted after just a few of the 20 scheduled episodes." (Tatlow)
