Parliamentary TV

Parliamentary TV (國會頻道) is a Taiwanese public-service television brand dedicated to live and recorded coverage of the Legislative Yuan, the national parliament of the Republic of China (Taiwan). It operates two digital channels: Parliamentary TV 1 (國會頻道1台), which carries live committee meetings, and Parliamentary TV 2 (國會頻道2台), which focuses on party caucus negotiations and related proceedings. The service is owned by the Legislative Yuan and produced by the state-linked Chinese Television System (CTS), with its visual identity incorporating the Legislative Yuan's plum-blossom emblem. The brand launched on 3 February 2017, when CTS began broadcasting the two channels. Its website, parliamentarytv.org.tw, serves as a central hub for live streams, daily and weekly meeting schedules, committee information, and archived video. The site organizes content by Legislative Yuan committees — including the Internal Administration, Foreign Affairs and National Defense, Economics, Finance, Education and Culture, Transportation, Judiciary and Legal System, Social Welfare and Environmental Hygiene, Procedure, Discipline, Constitutional Amendment, and Budget Audit committees — as well as party caucus negotiations. It also provides downloadable schedules and links to relevant laws such as the Constitution of the Republic of China, the Organic Act of the Legislative Yuan, and the Act Governing the Exercise of Legislative Yuan Powers. Beyond live proceedings, Parliamentary TV produces and hosts promotional and educational video content. Its online archive includes recordings of the channel's launch press conference, a 4K live broadcast of the opening event, a promotional video for its LINE official account, and a series of introductions to foreign parliaments, including those of Portugal, Chile, Luxembourg, Uruguay, Sweden, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Finland, South Korea, France, the United States, Japan, Canada, New Zealand, Germany, and Australia. The service also covered the September 2020 visit of Czech Senate President Miloš Vystrčil to the Legislative Yuan, including his speech and the awarding of a medal. As a state-owned public-service brand, Parliamentary TV is not a commercial broadcaster in the conventional sense; it exists to promote legislative transparency and public access to parliamentary proceedings. Its distribution is primarily digital and online, with the website offering live streams and on-demand video. The brand's LINE official account, launched on 24 November 2020, extended its reach to mobile messaging users, providing live links and updates. The service remains active and continues to broadcast Legislative Yuan sessions and committee meetings.

Parliamentary TV (國會頻道) was established as a dedicated public-service broadcasting brand for the Legislative Yuan of the Republic of China (Taiwan). According to the Chinese Wikipedia entry, the two digital channels were launched on 3 February 2017 by the Chinese Television System (CTS). Parliamentary TV 1 was designed to carry live broadcasts of Legislative Yuan committee meetings, including the Transportation, Judiciary and Legal System, Social Welfare and Environmental Hygiene, and Education and Culture committees, while Parliamentary TV 2 was dedicated to live coverage of party caucus negotiations. The channels adopted the Legislative Yuan's plum-blossom emblem as part of their visual identity. The creation of Parliamentary TV reflected a broader push for legislative transparency in Taiwan, allowing citizens to watch parliamentary proceedings directly rather than relying on edited news reports. The service's website, parliamentarytv.org.tw, became the primary distribution platform, offering live streams of both channels, daily and weekly meeting schedules, committee-specific information, and archived video. The site also provided access to key legal texts governing the Legislative Yuan, such as the Constitution of the Republic of China, the Organic Act of the Legislative Yuan, and the Act Governing the Exercise of Legislative Yuan Powers. In its early years, the service produced a range of promotional and educational content. The website's video archive includes recordings of the channel's launch press conference, a 4K live broadcast of the opening event, a promotional video for the website, a 10-second promotional spot, and a mobile app launch video. It also features a series of introductions to foreign parliaments, covering countries such as Portugal, Chile, Luxembourg, Uruguay, Sweden, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Finland, South Korea, France, the United States, Japan, Canada, New Zealand, Germany, and Australia. These programs were intended to educate viewers about comparative legislative systems. On 24 November 2020, Parliamentary TV launched its LINE official account, extending its reach to mobile messaging users. The account provides live broadcast links and updates on parliamentary proceedings. In September 2020, the service covered the visit of Czech Senate President Miloš Vystrčil to the Legislative Yuan, including his speech and the awarding of a medal, which was broadcast live and archived on the website. As of the available evidence, Parliamentary TV continues to operate as a state-owned public-service brand under the Legislative Yuan, produced by CTS. It remains focused on live and on-demand coverage of legislative proceedings, committee meetings, and party caucus negotiations, with its website serving as the central portal for schedules, live streams, and archived content.
