CCTV began considering English-language international news bulletin actual coverage programming in 1 January 1979 at the start of China's "Reform and opening up". English news bulletins began on CCTV-2 in 1984 and became available to overseas viewers when they moved to CCTV-4 in 1991. CCTV News launched as a 24-hour English-language channel and it was then known as CCTV-9 on 15 September 2000. CCTV News entered the United States cable market in 1 January 2002 as part of a deal that allowed AOL, Time Warner, and News Corporation access to cable systems in Guangdong. After the launch of the 24-hour service, the channel was revamped a number of times. A rolling service was instituted with news at the top of every hour, although the channel remains heavily dependent on features and entertainment as part of its function to show China to the world.
