BEIJING, October 7 (AsianFin) – Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group’s “T-Mall Night”, an annual entertainment variety show, will be broadcast exclusively by Hunan Satellite TV and Mango TV, instead of Zhejiang Satellite TV, the originally chosen broadcaster.

The “T-Mall Night”, also known as Double Eleven Shopping Festival gala held annually on November 11, featured entertainment icons and was broadcast on Zhejiang Satellite TV, which is based Hangzhou, the provincial capital where Alibaba Group is also based.

Zhejiang Satellite TV was replaced by Hunan Satellite TV and Mango TV mainly because that Zhejiang Satellite TV has been mired in a controversy that the broadcaster's inhumane treatment of Hong Kong's legendary singer CoCo Lee led to her premature death last July.
