2007 was the year with the most talent shows. The TV screen was full of vulgar, absurd and hyped-up content. Finally, the State Administration of Radio Film and Television (SARFT) imposed stricter requirements on talent shows in various aspects, including a ban on broadcasting such programs during prime time, as well as restrictions on program cycles and duration!
The era of talent shows has come to an end, but SARFT's clean-up campaign has not stopped. Some vulgar hosts who fail to speak Mandarin properly will be banned or fired. In 2008, we'll see which of the seven hosts, including Xie Na and Bi Fugan, will receive the above treatment.
