[3] In 1956, Chen Haotian, deputy director of Shanghai People's Broadcasting Station, and some engineering and technical cadres planned to establish a TV station in Shanghai, focusing on the research of TV broadcasting technology.
In addition to news, literature, and movies, the program content also included social education columns, which were broadcast four times a week; on April 6, 1960, Shanghai Television Station and East China Normal University jointly tried to run Shanghai Television University, which had three majors: mathematics, physics, and chemistry.
As a result, Shanghai Television Station achieved daily program broadcasts.
The city's industrial department organized relevant factories and enterprises to carry out supporting trial production based on the drawings brought back from Beijing.
In 1961, some of the color TV center equipment was installed on the 10th floor of the New Yong'an Building.
