中央广播电视总台 / China Central Television

China Central Television appears in Vol.264 把世界杯作为方法 as the domestic source of World Cup rights in China. The episode says World Cup and Olympic broadcast rights are purchased by CCTV first, then sublicensed to other platforms for live, on-demand, and replay use.

The source does not treat CCTV’s purchase as an ordinary market-clearing media-rights auction. Its analytical point is that the downstream sublicense buyers - from early web-video platforms to 咪咕 / Migu, Douyin, and Xiaohongshu - reveal more about platform competition than CCTV’s role as the required buyer.
