Removed US shows raise online discussions

American TV enters China's mainstream

The head of a forthcoming Film and TV Expo in Los Angeles says he's optimistic a number of popular American TV shows will find their way back to China.

Raymond Cheng, chief operating officer of the upcoming US China Film & TV Industry Expo, says shows, including the popular CBS comedy "Big Bang Theory" will once-again be made available for streaming to Chinese audiences.

The hit comedy disappeared from streaming feeds last month.

Cheng says there's enough incentive for the show to return, as Chinese viewers want it, and Warner Bros. wants the Chinese audience. CBS sitcom, along with a handful of other American shows, disappeared from Sohu.com. It's been suggested the show has been pulled off because its popularity has endangered the market share of domestic Chinese content.
