International Channel Shanghai, better known as ICS, is the foreign-language cable channel of Shanghai Media Group. Long before the parent company was known as SMG, Shanghai Television Station began producing the English-language “News at Ten” in 1986. On January 1, 2008, ICS replaced the Shanghai Broadcasting MusicChannel as a 24-hour English service (with two hours weekly in Japanese). In 2010, the channel replaced its “Red Sun Seagull” logo from the old Oriental TV channel with the STV “Magnolia” logo. The channel’s news department produces a Monday-through-Saturday news program (Shanghai Live) at 9:30pm. Other locally-produced programs include:

Bridge to Japan 中日之橋

Japanese drama 日曜劇場

City Beat

You Are the Chef

Getaway

Culture Matters

Cool Edition

Talk Talk

Visionaries

The channel also co-produces “The Amazing Race – China Rush,” which is completing its second season.
