On August 10, 2006, the Yanbian TV channel was formally launched, becoming China's first regional satellite television.

[3][2] On several occasions in November and December 2018, Yanbian TV faced multiple advertising violations, due to the channel broadcasting shopping and medical commercials overtime.

The National Radio and Television Administration repeatedly instructed the Provincial Bureau of Jilin to urge Yanbian TV to rectify the issues.

However, the channel's advertising violations have not been rectified in place and they have repeatedly continued to re-broadcast.

[4] As a result, the National Radio and Television Administration ordered the Bureau of Radio and Television of Jilin Province to give Yanbian TV an administrative penalty by suspending the broadcast of commercial advertisements for 30 days.
