Or are there private ones too? If so, which ones?

Yes, they are. As most of people know that all of mass media are state-owned in China, television stations are not exceptional to belong to the enormous state-owned system.
But to date, with the economic reform in the broadcasting system and China entering into WTO, the television industry has increased greatly and the television market has matured with more and more competition. The players in China’s television industry have changed from the monologue of TV stations to multi roles of TV stations, production companies and overseas television companies, although TV stations are still the majority of China’s TV market.
Especially, private television production companies are becoming more and more active in this market. Now days, state own TV stations, and Provincial owned ones do compete in the marketplace for a share of it and ad revenue.
