One. Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders:
We sincerely thank everyone for their long-term support and trust in China Television Company. Looking back over the past year, the global media industry has faced multiple challenges such as content fragmentation, intensified competition among digital platforms, and structural changes in the advertising market. However, CTV has continued to deliver outstanding results in the three core areas of variety shows, dramas, and news, leveraging its strong content production capabilities, long-established brand trust, and steady, pragmatic management strategies.
According to the 2025 Taiwan Internet Report by the Taiwan Network Information Center Foundation, traditional television media remains the primary source of news for the public, ranking first. Although there have been significant changes in digital channels, television still serves as the mainstream news medium in Taiwan.
Additionally, based on 2025 Nielsen survey data, "CTV Evening News" consistently holds the top spot in overall viewership, fully demonstrating CTV News' leading advantages in timeliness, professionalism, and social trust. In terms of variety shows, we continue to deepen our strategies of "branding" and "cross-platform content extension." Our key programs have repeatedly achieved excellent results, successfully attracting cross-generational audiences and further enhancing advertising value and operational revenue.
At the same time, CTV has officially invested in the development and production of new Taiwanese dramas. By combining our long-accumulated production resources, artistic talents, and channel advantages, we are creating drama IPs that embody both local cultural depth and cross-platform extensibility, laying a growth foundation for future content licensing and expansion into overseas Chinese-speaking markets.
As a media company with high social trust, we deeply understand that corporate responsibility goes beyond profit-making to the practice of sustainable value. In the ESG field, we continue to promote process optimization; regarding labor rights, we actively build a comprehensive technical transformation training system to ensure that our colleagues can continuously improve and grow together with the company in the AI era. I firmly believe that a healthy workplace culture and respect for the environment are the strongest foundations for sustainable corporate operation.

(IV) R&D
- With technological advancements, image quality continues to improve, requiring higher resolution cameras, faster post-production computing power, and sufficient storage capacity. Therefore, the company has gradually planned to procure 4K cameras, editing equipment, and storage systems in recent years to keep up with industry development trends. We will continue to monitor technological evolution and introduce advanced production and broadcasting equipment to enhance program production quality. Notably, the flagship travel program "Exploring Mainland China" (大陸尋奇) has fully adopted 4K production, using a complete 4K workflow from shooting, editing to storage. By the end of 2025, a total of 109 episodes have been
produced in full 4K ultra-high definition.
-
To enhance post-production capabilities and strengthen visual packaging effects, the company actively introduces AI-related applications to promote diversified visual creative packaging, shorten production schedules, and effectively improve work efficiency. Additionally, we fully utilize AI technology for image quality restoration, removing defects from images and enhancing details to further improve the overall quality and visual effects of programs.
-
The company is currently collaborating with external media technology firms to research and test a TV broadcast subtitle system integrating automatic speech recognition and real-time translation. This system can be applied to major domestic and international live news broadcasts, achieving real-time translation and subtitle display. The introduction of AI automation technology not only improves subtitle accuracy but also effectively addresses shortcomings in existing processes, further optimizing production and broadcasting workflows.
-
To strengthen information and communication security of critical infrastructure, the company has established an Information Security Management System (ISMS) in accordance with ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standards and completed external verification audit in January 2026, officially obtaining certification. After review by a third-party verification body, the company's information security planning and implementation comply with standards. Going forward, the company will continue to enforce system operations, conduct regular follow-up audits and management reviews to ensure the effectiveness of the information security management system, and make timely adjustments and improvements.
-
With the continuous advancement of broadcasting technology, the fiber optic signal transmission method originally used by the northern and eastern transmitters has become uneconomical due to high maintenance costs. After careful evaluation and testing, it will be gradually replaced in phases by network transmission equipment. The new solution's transmission stability has been proven to effectively replace fiber optics, and its deployment is more flexible, allowing quick adjustments according to actual needs, while effectively reducing overall construction and operating costs and improving resource utilization and management efficiency.
II. Business Plan in 2026
(I) This Year's Business Policy and Key Production and Marketing Strategies
- Four indicators for CTV News: (a) balancing viewership and revenue benefits; (b) having social influence; (c) producing competitive, high-quality self-made news programs; (d) gathering online popularity and optimizing brand effectiveness.
(1) Enhancing CTV News Channel's live reporting capability:
After full HD construction of CTV News, the CTV News Channel (digital channel) has become the core content supply platform for HD production and broadcasting. It is positioned as a TV channel targeting young audiences, providing information, livelihood, fast and timely news, focusing on metropolitan and urban-rural development, and having an international perspective. In 2021, the news broadcast structure was significantly adjusted, offering ten segments of real-time live news
in HD quality from morning to night.
(2) The program "Common People's Big Boss" (庶民大頭家) invites heavyweight guests from various fields each episode to analyze the latest political and economic situations, engaging with grassroots citizens to care about current affairs, addressing issues of public concern. Its ratings have significantly surged and it is well received by viewers.
(3) Scheduling diverse news programs:
CTV News Channel adjusts its news broadcast structure in response to social changes and public opinion, providing quality news specials such as "Starting Point of Change," "Sixty Minutes," and "Common People's Big Boss."
(4) Building interactive platforms to deepen social media effects:
In the new media era, CTV enhances the competitiveness of news and program production by abandoning traditional production workflows and establishing a digital tape-less system to improve news and program editing, production, storage, and multi-media broadcasting needs. Each news segment's responsible editor selects news, which is then transcoded and arranged by the online media team before uploading to social media platforms. Besides content marketing, active interaction with netizens is conducted to obtain real-time feedback.
2. Variety Programs
(1) Monday to Friday at 10 PM: Continue producing the quality singing program "Singing for You," which uses soothing and pleasant voices to accompany viewers in relaxing after busy work.
(2) Saturday at 8 PM: Continue self-producing the large-scale singing variety show "Variety Top One." (綜藝一級棒) To enhance program richness and diversity, the hosting lineup is strong and consists of singers. Each episode invites well-known domestic singers and top record producers to perform together, highlighting key entertainment elements such as "star gathering" and "exciting and lively." Content planning includes traditional singing segments as well as era-themed or special projects to evoke viewers' memories, creating a new variety feast suitable for family viewing through pleasant singing and light-hearted interviews.
(3) Saturday at 10 PM: Continue co-producing with Sanlih the high-rating outdoor game show "Variety Play Big." (綜藝玩很大) The show's soul figure Wu Zongxian teams up with KID and famous artists to compete fiercely, attracting a loyal audience. To provide viewers with more diverse visual enjoyment, filming continues to be planned outside Taiwan and in other countries to create buzz and aim for high ratings.
(4) Sunday at 8 PM: Continue producing the outdoor reality show "Hunger Games." (飢餓遊戲) Since its launch in October 2017, the show has performed well in ratings, often ranking first in the A25-49 demographic in the same time slot, beating multiple variety shows on Taiwan Television and frequently competing with FTV "Variety Big Gathering." Hosts Sun Xiezhi, Wang Renfu, Xu Mengzhe, Cai Huangru, and Qun Qun engage in witty and intense competition, successfully attracting viewers and gaining strong support. In 2026, facing strong
competition from rival programs, "Hunger Games" will design diversified game content to attract more viewers with a fresh look and maintain good ratings.
(5) Sunday at 10 PM: To promote channel youthfulness, the Korean variety cooking reality show "Backpack Chef Baek Jong-won" (背包廚神白種元) Season 1 and the popular outdoor reality competition show "Hope of the Village" (全村的希望) will be aired. In 2026, selected outdoor reality travel programs such as "Amazing Travel Stars" (驚奇旅明星) will also be broadcast. Starting April 12, the "CTV Blockbuster Cinema" will air Disney movies to meet viewers' demand for program diversity.
3. Drama Programs
(1) Monday to Friday from 8 to 10 PM: Air different types of prime-time hit dramas, such as popular mainland Chinese dramas favored by CTV viewers including "Hard to Please," (難哄) "Joy of Life Season 2," (慶餘年第二季) "Cang Hai Chuan," (藏海傳) and "Carefree Crossing." (無憂渡) Domestic self-produced dramas include life-related "Upstairs Downstairs," (樓上樓下) "San Francisco Beauty Salon," (舊金山美容院) the heartwarming "Come Home Early," (早點回家) and "Happy Birthday."
(2) Monday to Friday from 10 PM to midnight: Continue airing selected hit mainland Chinese costume dramas, including "Eternal Love," (三生三世十里桃花) "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Saber," (倚天屠龍記) and "Ink Rain Between Clouds." (墨雨雲間)
(3) Sunday from 10 PM to midnight: Starting April 12, 2026, launch "CTV Blockbuster Cinema," featuring dozens of classic Hollywood star-studded films in rotation, including Sandra Bullock's "Miss Congeniality," Will Smith's "I, Robot," Robin Williams' "Mrs. Doubtfire," Jackie Chan's "The Myth," Leonardo DiCaprio's "Romeo + Juliet," Ben Stiller's "Night at the Museum" series, and Julia Roberts and Richard Gere's "Pretty Woman."
(II) Expected Sales Volume and Basis
In advertising business, marketing is conducted using CPRP (cost per rating point) combined with block purchase methods according to program characteristics, actively seeking program placement projects, program sponsorship, and vendor sponsorship to open new business opportunities.
Facing competition from digital new media, traditional terrestrial TV advertising clients are gradually changing. CTV continues to strive for more business, such as health foods, supplements, and even long-duration shopping ads endorsed by celebrities.
In project marketing, the company seeks opportunities to host government and large-scale events, such as New Year's Eve broadcasts, which combine viewership and media influence for synergistic effects.
In copyright business, with the booming development of global OTT and streaming media industries, demand for Chinese-language content is increasing. The company will actively negotiate strategic alliances and cooperative relationships with domestic and overseas operators to expand the visibility of CTV programs.

III. Future Company Development Strategy
The key operating time slot for the TV station is from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM on weekdays, primarily focusing on broadcasting dramas to attract viewers as the main business strategy. Adhering to the belief that only high-quality dramas can create excellent ratings, in the future, CTV will continue to co-produce dramas with high-quality domestic production units and will also continue to schedule the most popular and attractive drama programs favored by viewers. This aims to cultivate a fixed viewing habit among the audience, build the company’s brand image, and boost viewership performance.
Regarding variety shows, in addition to the currently airing popular programs such as "Variety Top One," (綜藝一級棒) "Hunger Games," (飢餓遊戲) "Variety Play Big," (綜藝玩很大) "Singing for You," (唱歌給你聽) and the travelogue program "Exploring Mainland China," (大陸尋奇) the company will continue to develop and produce higher-quality program content to accompany viewers through joyful weekday and weekend nights.
Furthermore, CTV continues to promote digital marketing and, in response to the global trend of new media industry development, plans the following development directions and actively establishes strategic alliances and cooperative relationships with new media operators both domestically and internationally.
(I) Activate CTV’s archive resources and collaborate with domestic and overseas OTT platforms to list programs via VOD, SVOD, etc., using guaranteed minimum payment and revenue-sharing cooperation models.
(II) Authorize emerging OTT models such as FAST TV overseas with guaranteed minimum payment and revenue-sharing cooperation to broadcast classic company programs.
(III) Authorize overseas YouTube channels to upload translated classic works of the company; besides revenue sharing, traffic can be redirected back to the company’s own YouTube channel, and translated subtitles in various languages can be obtained for free.
(IV) Actively manage the CTV YouTube family of channels, introduce a membership system, and plan programs around personalities and themes, producing short video highlights for upload to increase revenue from owned new media channels.
IV. Impact of External Competitive Environment, Regulatory Environment, and Overall Business Environment
According to the Digital Industry Agency of Taiwan’s Ministry of Digital Development, the 2025 Digital Content Industry Report points out that Taiwan’s digital content industry faced multiple challenges in 2024, including increasing pressure from technological innovation and the rapid evolution of emerging generative AI technology. Industry players must maintain sustainable operations and develop content that meets market demands to remain competitive. Internationally, in response to the rapid development of AI technology and applications, many countries have proposed basic AI laws to establish fundamental principles for AI development and frameworks for AI risk management. Meanwhile, the Executive Yuan has incorporated the "Basic Artificial Intelligence Act" into its policy development blueprint, expected to pass the draft in 2025.
-6-
The act covers seven major aspects: legal definitions, privacy protection, data governance, risk management, ethical norms, industry promotion, and application legality. It is designed with reference to multiple countries' legal systems and expert recommendations from academia and industry. Some provisions, such as "social fairness and protection of vulnerable groups" and "regulatory sandbox," are still under discussion, indicating Taiwan's ongoing efforts to balance institutionalization and international alignment in AI governance.
Facing the AI wave, CTV actively promotes transformation by applying AI in news editing, content management, and production process optimization, continuously improving content production efficiency and richness. At the same time, it strictly adheres to journalistic ethics and fact-checking standards to ensure that technology application not only enhances efficiency but also further strengthens brand trust and professional image.
Looking ahead, CTV will continue to drive growth based on four main pillars: "content value, news credibility, digital transformation, and sustainable governance." On one hand, it will deepen variety, drama IP, and news brands, expand OTT, social short video, and international licensing cooperation; on the other hand, it will use data-driven content strategies to improve operational efficiency and profitability quality. With the efforts of all colleagues and the support of shareholders, CTV will continue to optimize and strive forward, regarding shareholders' trust as the highest goal, breaking through and improving on the existing foundation to reach new heights.
Wishing you all the best.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2025 | |||
| The Company | All companies in the financial statements | The Company | All companies in the financial statements | |
| Director | -7.94% | -7.94% | -2.69% | -2.69% |
| Supervisor | 0.00% | 0.00% | 0.00% | 0.00% |

| Individual financial report after-tax net profit | -35,217 | -35,217 | -99,355 | -99,355 |
Reasons for Annual Increase or Decrease:
The ratio of total remuneration for the company's directors, general manager, and deputy general manager to after-tax net profit increased in the 2025th fiscal year. This was mainly due to increased costs from self-produced programs and new projects during the year, which raised total operating costs and thus reduced after-tax net profit.
- Remuneration policies, standards, packages, and procedures, and association with business performance and future risks
(1) Policy, standards, composition, procedures for determining remuneration for directors and supervisors, and their relation to operational performance and future risks:
If the company is profitable in a given year, it shall allocate no less than 2% for employee remuneration and no more than 1% for director remuneration. However, if the company has accumulated losses, it must first reserve amounts to cover those losses.
(2) Policy, standards, composition, procedures for determining remuneration for the general manager and deputy general manager, and their relation to operational performance and future risks:
The company regularly reviews salary levels of peers or competitors to ensure competitive compensation, aiming to attract, motivate, and retain talent. Compensation is divided into fixed and variable parts, reflecting individual and team performance toward company operational goals, providing reasonable rewards.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| physical risk | Immediacy | The severity of extreme climate events such as typhoons and floods has increased | Short term (1-3 years) | Extreme weather events may damage filming equipment and facilities, leading to additional repair or replacement costs. Moreover, strong typhoons making landfall may force filming plans to be interrupted or postponed, especially outdoor shoots, which not only affect filming schedules but may also increase production costs, resulting in higher operating expenses. | ▲Develop detailed emergency plans, including equipment protection measures, emergency evacuation procedures, and alternative filming plans, to ensure rapid response during extreme weather events and minimize losses.▲Utilize insurance mechanisms to share part of the disaster loss risks. | ▲Disaster-related insurance premiums amount to approximately NT$1.76 million.▲Maintenance of key infrastructure in 2025 totaled NT$2 million. | ▲To mitigate operational impacts from natural disasters, CTV insures filming equipment to protect its safety; in 2025, the insured amount for equipment was approximately NT$36.579 million.▲All facilities remained stable and channels broadcast normally after typhoon landfalls. |
| Long term | Average temperature rise | Long-term (5-10 years) | Rising average temperatures lead to increased air conditioning operation frequency, affecting electricity and water expenses and increasing the likelihood of air conditioning failures, potentially raising operating costs. | By implementing zoned temperature control policies, office personnel are concentrated during off-peak hours, and air conditioning in unoccupied spaces is turned off. Additionally, all office lighting has been replaced with LED sources to save energy consumption. | In 2024, the company replaced office lighting with LED sources, investing a total of NT$300,000. | Through zoned temperature control policies and LED lighting replacement, the company has effectively controlled electricity and water expenses. | |

New Products (Services) Planned for Development:
(1) HD Digital News Channel:
After the full HD construction of CTV News, the CTV News Channel (digital channel) has become the core content supply platform for HD production and broadcasting. It is positioned as a youthful, informative, livelihood-focused, fast and real-time channel that pays attention to urban and rural development and has an international perspective. In 2021, the news broadcast structure was significantly adjusted, with the news channel providing eleven segments of real-time live news and programs in HD quality from morning till night. In addition, to help viewers understand the latest political issues and lifestyle topics, high-quality news programs such as "Starting Point of Change," (改變的起點) "Sixty
Minutes,"(六十分鐘) and "New Commoners' Boss"(新庶民大頭家) are produced through self-production, co-production, or external production channels, allowing viewers to gain deeper and timely insights into social trends and new knowledge. Furthermore, thematic programs like "World Big Secrets,"(世界大搜秘) "Wealth Life Code,"(致富生活密碼) "New Horizons of Technology," (科技新視界) "Amazing Ancient and Modern Revelations,"(古今揭密大驚奇) and "Entertainment Star Avenue"(娛樂星光大道) continue to be produced, enabling viewers to see more aspects of the world from interesting news programs. The channel will also continue to innovate and develop new program formats to compete for viewership.
(2) Developing Online Audiences:
With the rapid development of internet technology and OTT platforms, and in response to the increasing demand for viewing on new media platforms, CTV continues to provide content and operate new channels on new media platforms. Utilizing existing news and archive resources, CTV manages news, drama, and variety show brands and content on platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. It also actively seeks cooperation with various internet OTT and IPTV new media platforms such as Chunghwa Telecom MOD, HamiVideo, LiTV, Ofiii, and Four Seasons Online to increase CTV brand visibility and revenue sources.
(3) Continuously Building an HD Program Digital Content Archive:
Programs owned by CTV News Department with copyrights, such as "Starting Point of Change" and "Sixty Minutes," are produced and broadcast in HD digital content.
SD programs are organized and converted into HD or internet-usable resources through classification and transcoding. Programs owned by CTV copyrights, such as "Variety Top One,"(綜藝一級棒) "Hunger Games,"(飢餓遊戲) "Exploring Mainland China,"(大陸尋奇) "MIT Taiwan Chronicles,"(MIT台灣誌) "Wan Show Pig King,"(萬秀豬王) "Braving Japan's Secret Places,"(勇闖日本秘境)"Green Grass by the River,"(青青河邊草) "Xue Ke,"(雪珂) "Wang Fu Cliff,"(望夫崖) and "Phoenix in Flames,"(浴火鳳凰) are digitally remastered and edited in HD to reserve HD program content and hours. Currently, over 41,200 hours of content have been accumulated. Purchased programs require vendors to provide HD files for broadcasting to offer viewers the best visual experience.
(4) Continuously Developing New Channels on the CTV OTT Platform:
In recent years, internet media technology and markets have grown year by year, and internet TV has matured domestically and internationally. Therefore, plans are underway to establish a fully copyrighted international CTV channel, connecting 100% authorized internet OTT channels with self-owned programs including news reports, news specials, variety shows, and classic dramas, while seeking external cooperation. This will not only develop new revenue sources but also enhance CTV channel recognition in overseas markets.
Currently, CTV has been operating on video social platforms such as YT, FB, and IG for many years with increasing effectiveness. It will continue uploading new and archive programs for viewers to watch on demand, and will plan
-52-
programs by character and theme, producing short video highlights for upload. Additionally, variety new channels are being expanded, for example, classic variety shows like "The Strongest National Citizen," (最強大國民) "No Play No End," (沒玩沒了) and "Wan Show Victory" (萬秀大勝利) are broadcast on the "Zeng Guocheng Variety Platform" YT channel, yielding good revenue results. Starting in 2025, CTV began trying to purchase the YT broadcasting rights for the classic mainland Chinese costume drama "Eternal Love" ("Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms") (三生三世十里桃花), uploading it in two ways: "full series released at once" and "24-hour non-stop live streaming." The popularity remains high, with strong viewer discussion and participation.
(5) New Media Platforms:
In response to the diversification of information dissemination channels, the News Department has intensified efforts to cultivate audiences on internet and other new media platforms. On the YT CTV News Channel and CTV News Live Channel, as well as the CTV News FB fan page, uploading, curation, and interactive experiences have been strengthened to accumulate subscribers and fans, deepen the news brand value, and use live streaming to boost platform vitality, meeting the real-time needs of modern audiences.
(II) Industry Overview
- Current Status and Development of the Industry:
(1) Taiwan's television industry is mainly divided into terrestrial television, cable television, IPTV, and in recent years, the most dominant various OTT platforms.
(2) There are 4 commercial terrestrial TV stations and 1 public TV station. On July 1, 2012, analog signals were shut down, and all broadcasts switched to digital signals, ushering in the era of high-definition digital television.
(3) Starting July 31, 2017, CTV terrestrial digital TV underwent a complete revamp, providing two high-definition channels: CTV and CTV News Channel. From August 3, 2020, all four CTV terrestrial digital TV channels were upgraded to HD high-definition broadcasts. By the end of October 2022, the overall terrestrial digital TV platform broadcast a total of 21 HD (high-definition) channels and 2 SD (standard-definition) channels, produced by five terrestrial TV operators and the Indigenous Television Station.
(4) Cable TV has about 248 registered channels, and general households can receive at least 80 channels through cable systems.
(5) Various new media platforms using internet streaming have developed vigorously. Besides closed systems such as Chunghwa Telecom's MOD and the completion of cable TV digitalization, Taiwan has fully entered the digital TV era. Various OTT platforms have rapidly risen since 2016. Besides domestic operators, international leaders like Netflix have become the platform with the most subscribers domestically, creating fierce competition.
(6) With the increasing popularity of smartphones and tablets and the diversification of OTT platform content, major telecom operators and OTT platform providers have growing demand for digital content. In the future, CTV's revenue from the online OTT TV market is expected to continue growing.
(7) Commercial product placement has been legalized. On November 11, 2016, the “Regulations on the Segmentation of TV Program Advertising, Product Placement Marketing, and Sponsorship Management” were announced. It stipulates that during prime time, non-domestic produced programs cannot have title sponsorship. On March 8, 2019, some articles were amended to specify that non-domestic produced programs broadcast from 7 PM to 11 PM cannot accept title sponsorship.
(8) On December 13, 2016, the “Regulations on TV Program Rating” were announced. Key revisions include that terrestrial stations can broadcast protected-level programs starting from 7 PM, and the advisory rating is divided into two levels: Advisory 12 and Advisory 15. Advisory 12 programs can be broadcast starting at 9 PM, and Advisory 15 programs starting at 11 PM. These regulations took effect from June 2017.
(9) On January 1, 2020, the “Regulations on the Broadcasting of Domestic Self-Produced Programs by Terrestrial TV Operators” were amended and implemented. It requires that during prime time (8 PM to 10 PM), domestic self-produced drama programs must account for no less than 50% of similar program types, and the proportion of new broadcasts must not be less than 40%, calculated by the annual broadcast hours of each individual channel.
(10) News channels continue to produce HD digital high-definition new programs.
CTV, to enhance the competitiveness of its news and programs and to abandon traditional cumbersome news and program production processes, has established a “digital tapeless system” to improve the needs of news and program editing, production, broadcasting, storage, and cross-platform broadcasting on new media.
- Upstream, Midstream, and Downstream Relationships in the Industry:
(1) Upstream: program production suppliers, providers of TV production and transmission systems.
(2) Midstream: the TV stations themselves.
(3) Downstream: media service companies, advertising agencies, and advertising clients.
(4) Upstream program production suppliers and production/transmission equipment suppliers provide services for TV stations to broadcast programs to national audiences. TV operators then use advertising revenue to maintain their development and operations.
(5) After the digitalization of terrestrial TV, the relationship with the communications and telecommunications industries will become closer.
- Various Development Trends and Competitive Situations of Products:
(1) Terrestrial TV full digitalization arrived in July 2012. Coupled with the government’s urgent attitude toward HD development, CTV has established new HD terrestrial digital channels and also upgraded the news channel to HD, transmitting to major MSOs to serve digital cable users.
(2) The rapid development of domestic and overseas new media platforms has brought strong competition to traditional TV operations. TV stations should leverage content advantages to gain exposure across multiple platforms,
-54-
accumulate influence, and thereby generate market value. Since January 2015, CTV has set up an internet and media team to cultivate new media platforms and social media platforms, achieving remarkable performance. As of March 2026, the subscription numbers of CTV’s various family channels on YouTube and followers on Facebook fan pages are summarized as follows:
- CTV News YouTube Channel: 987,000 subscribers

Additionally, the YouTube HD live broadcast channel was established in March 2016, and by the end of that year, subscribers had exceeded 23,000. By April 2018, the number of subscribers had more than doubled to 47,365. Continuously increasing live broadcast hours in response to current events, the subscriber count had surpassed 201,000 by March 2026. During this period, the CTV News Facebook fan page followers grew from 20,000 at the beginning of 2014 to over 770,000 by the end of March 2026.
Moreover, CTV News has regularly been featured on Yahoo and PChome portal websites. In 2018, it further collaborated with Line, the most widely used mobile communication app in Taiwan, allowing CTV News to appear on platforms such as Line TV, making its reach even more extensive.
(3) Well-known large OTT platforms at home and abroad have been competing to broadcast overseas dramas and variety shows from China, Korea, Japan, and other countries ahead of free-to-air television. Taiwanese viewers often watch these programs during the gap period before the broadcasting rights are purchased by Taiwanese TV platforms, which affects the viewership ratings during official broadcasts. However, government-related agencies currently have no prevention or control plans for these foreign infringement websites.

(4) To eliminate the common drawback of general news channels repeatedly broadcasting the same news content, CTV News Channel has implemented different designs:
First, the traditional three news segments have been deepened and broadened, with the three news segments broadcast over a two-hour span. Morning news airs at 7:00 and 8:00; midday news at 12:00 and 13:00; evening news at 18:00 and 19:00, allowing the public to grasp all important domestic and international news at once.
CTV News Channel continuously adjusts its program structure to strengthen real-time news segments and additionally increases live news coverage: on weekdays at 09:00, 14:00, and 22:00; on weekends at 09:00, 14:00, 15:00, 20:00, and 21:00.
The new broadcast hours of CTV News Channel have significantly increased, and the content has been enhanced for timeliness, with real-time updates providing the latest developments. From morning broadcasts until 23:00, news is delivered anytime via on-site SNG connections, breaking news inserts, mobile live streaming, and other methods to provide first-hand on-site information. When major events occur, the program schedule is quickly adjusted; depending on the importance and impact of the event, original programs may be suspended to broadcast live news coverage or extended special reports.
Second, when major events occur, the news department’s reporting center responds immediately and quickly changes the program schedule according to the importance and impact of the event, launching special reports, for example:

(III) Overview of Technology and Research & Development
- R&D Expenditure
In addition to focusing on talent training and improving program quality, the company also invests in research related to digital operation models. The advent of the digital media era will change the way television stations operate. To prepare for digital operations, the company has carried out engineering technology development, program production, and business expansion plans. Regarding R&D expenses, excluding personnel costs, talent training expenditures amount to approximately NT$80,000.
- Successfully Developed Technologies or Products
(1) Enhancing visual design by constructing HD-quality 3D virtual scenes: Utilizing purchased HD and virtual equipment, the company developed virtual scenes for news design and broadcasting.
(2) Continuous investment in building an HD digital archive:
(2-1) To eliminate the traditional cumbersome news production process, the company established a tape-less NRCS system for news audio-visual content to improve news gathering, editing, broadcasting, storage, and multimedia transmission needs. This created a digital tape-less production environment and actively developed cross-domain operations on new wireless media platforms such as mobile phones, the internet, and mobile reception. Since 2016, the company has continuously invested in building the HD digital archive. Online broadcast videos are immediately recorded and classified, filtered, edited, and stored by media asset professionals, constructing a large-capacity digital archive. Future data exchange across platforms and revitalization/remastering of audio-visual content also require a highly time-efficient digital production and storage environment.
(2-2) In response to the digital convergence era, the company invested in building a program media asset system in 2019, which officially launched in March 2020. Once programs are digitized through digital recording, they can be simultaneously accessed by multiple non-linear editing systems, audio editing systems, and special effects systems. Various special effects animations and graphic materials can be directly imported as files into the central audio-visual server, fully controlling timeliness and overcoming workspace limitations, tightly integrating the production process. Company departments or program production units can share resources via the internal network. At the same time, existing rich audio-visual data and future generated data are systematically organized and converted into digital audio-
-58-
visual files with metadata, establishing a secure, reliable, productive, and competitive digital audio-visual archive environment.
(3) Application of drone aerial photography technology: Due to significant price reductions and easier operation in recent years, drones are now used in large-scale reporting events, especially when event locations are widely distributed, such as large galas, reality shows, and travel programs. After obtaining approval from the Civil Aeronautics Administration of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, drones are deployed to provide more detailed bird's-eye 3D perspectives to viewers.
(4) Integration of national highway traffic condition systems into production and broadcasting: During the 2016 Lunar New Year, the news department utilized information systems from national highway websites and apps to immediately broadcast real-time images and traffic speed information for different road sections. This technology continues to be used, not only for holiday traffic services but also to provide the latest on-site footage during major highway accidents to understand congestion conditions.
(5) Development of earthquake and heavy rain alert information systems in cooperation with the Meteorological Bureau: These systems are applied to emergency message broadcasting and major natural disaster reporting.
(6) Since April 2012, the company planned and implemented a new financial system (SAP), which went live at the end of October 2012. The completed system modules include cost and accounting systems (FI/CO), with project benefits as follows:
(6-1) Through system and data integration, it provides real-time data analysis capabilities, shortening the monthly closing hours.
(6-2) Shortens processing workflows, standardizes procedures, shares resources, and saves manual operation costs.
(6-3) Provides real-time actual vs. budget variance comparisons and flexible strategic adjustments, offering management reports from various operational perspectives to support decision-making.
(6-4) To enhance the SAP BW (report server) functionality, a BW system migration project was conducted in April 2015 to build a dual-machine HA architecture from a single server, including database migration and system tuning, completed by the end of April that year. This improved the usability and completeness of SAP system report data provision and application.
(7) Since July 2015, to strengthen internal work and affairs management and provide a platform for employees to share work experiences and feelings, the company developed an online work management system, which went live at the end of August 2015. It serves as an internal communication and record-keeping system for employees at all levels.
(8) In 2019, the company introduced the eHR (human resources leave automation system), significantly reducing data compilation and verification efforts. After implementation, employees can apply for and check personal leave and attendance records and electronic pay slips via the eHR portal. Financial
-59-
supervisors no longer need to print paper pay slips, and HR departments or unit supervisors can export various reports as management indicators, improving efficiency through digitalization.
(9) On August 3, 2020, the company fully upgraded its wireless digital TV, introducing the latest encoding technology. The previous configuration of 2 HD + 2 SD channels was upgraded to 4 HD high-definition channels, providing better picture quality and broadcast service to viewers.
(10) To strengthen critical infrastructure information security, the company officially implemented an information security management system in July 2022 and completed an upgrade in 2024 to align with the latest ISO/IEC 27001:2022 international standard. Through asset inventory, risk assessment, internal audits, and training, the company effectively reduces threats from human error, malicious attacks, or natural disasters to information assets, ensuring high confidentiality, integrity, and availability of systems. On January 7 and January 19-21, 2026, the company completed external verification audits based on ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and officially obtained certification.
(11) To enhance the overall production level and stage visual presentation of variety shows, the engineering department procured and introduced LED video wall equipment as the main image display system for program stages starting July 2015. With high resolution and brightness, it can present diverse visual content and support real-time screen switching and dynamic background design, effectively enhancing stage atmosphere and visual layers. Along with equipment introduction, related operation and technical training were conducted to continuously improve the professional skills and practical experience of production and technical personnel, strengthening team production efficiency and further refining overall program production quality and creative expression.
(IV) Short- and Long-term Business Development Plan
- Digital Television Promotion:
Currently, various types of video platforms including terrestrial TV, satellite TV, IPTV, MOD, APP, and OTT face intense competition, giving viewers more choices. After the full digitalization of terrestrial TV stations, the number of channels has increased. Besides the general channel, CTV has upgraded its News Channel, Bravo! Channel, and Classic Channel to full high-definition (HD) broadcasting. In this era where content is king, if innovative program formats can be created to satisfy viewers' diverse demands with high-quality content, and by effectively utilizing mobile broadband and social media platforms to develop interactive audiovisual programs, strengthen marketing, expand the audience base, and develop added value, digital TV platforms will have the opportunity to capture the market.
After completing the digital transition, CTV is committed to expanding the HD automated broadcasting system to provide viewers with the best viewing quality and service. The original tape-less multi-channel broadcasting system will be expanded with HD channel automated broadcasting equipment and updated digital head-end systems. The company will promote digital and tape-less TV production and
-60-
broadcasting. Both program studios and news studios will gradually replace their filming and recording systems with digital production and broadcasting systems, enabling digital content to have the characteristics of “one-time production, multi-format processing, multi-channel transmission, and multi-functional service,” providing audiences with more autonomy, interactivity, and diverse programming.
To provide HD broadcasting services, the company actively invests in building HD broadcasting systems, establishing a complete HD broadcasting platform including a full HD audio-video server, switchers, channel branding system, voice-over subtitle system, and automated broadcasting system. These are fully integrated with existing equipment to achieve a unified control interface and method, and in 2015, the company upgraded to full-frequency HD broadcasting.
In recent years, the company has successively built two HD news studios, enabling the entire process from front-end news shooting, interviewing, editing to broadcasting to be in HD, providing viewers with high-definition news programs and pushing the technology and quality of news production to a new milestone. The company has also upgraded to HD virtual studios, which are now widely used in news, weather, and programs. Using virtual studios increases the diversity of broadcast content and allows higher interactivity between virtual sets and personnel. Since the effects are created using 3D animation frameworks, they enhance the visual experience and enrich program content.
In response to the increased demand for HD program production, the company has completed the construction of a post-production nonlinear editing network system and fully promoted tape-less production workflows. It has simultaneously strengthened file transcoding, transmission, and quality monitoring management mechanisms to improve production and broadcasting efficiency and quality control. This year, the company will continue to introduce 4K and artificial intelligence (AI) production environments and enhance professional training for post-production personnel to improve technical capabilities, respond to industry development trends, and strengthen overall competitiveness.
Starting from 5 a.m. on February 15, 2016, CTV’s main channel upgraded to HD. The reception of terrestrial wireless signals can serve as a backup signal for cable MSOs (12 head-ends) with fiber-optic HD deployment and for eight independent cable systems and new system HD deployments (DVB-T as the main and satellite as backup). Additionally, cable systems fully digitized began releasing RF bandwidth from the second half of 2016, and on December 1, 2016, the main channel HD was launched on the Kbro MSO (18 head-ends), serving cable and terrestrial viewers with a brand-new HD appearance and providing the best viewing quality.
After completing HD digital production and broadcasting for the CTV News Channel, the company continues to promote and launch digital TV content. Since 2015, it has successively launched on five major MSOs: Chunghwa Telecom, Kbro, Taiwan Fixed Network, Taiwan Digital Optical, and Taiwan Broadband (TBC). It continues to communicate with independent system digital head-ends for launch to expand the CTV News Channel’s audience.

To meet target audience demands and provide high-quality and diverse programming to attract viewers and create business opportunities, excellent equipment, quality personnel, and a rich database are needed as support. To achieve this goal, related engineering equipment and facilities have been updated annually, and personnel training has been strengthened. This is an important plan for both the short and medium to long term.
2. Program and News Planning:

(2-1) Short-term Business Development Plan
A. Producing high-definition news and programs that are closer to the public:
Our news channel continuously adjusts the news broadcast structure and high-quality news programs based on social changes and public opinion feedback. Programs include high-definition news specials such as "Starting Point of Change,"(改變的起點) "Sixty Minutes,"(六十分鐘) "New Commoners' Boss,"(新庶民大頭家) "World Big Secrets,"(世界大搜秘) "Wealth Life Code,"(致富生活密碼) "New Horizons of Technology,"(科技新視界) "Amazing Ancient and Modern Secrets,"(古今揭密大驚奇) "Entertainment Star Avenue,"(娛樂星光大道) "MIT Taiwan Chronicles,"(MIT台灣誌) and others.
B. Providing more time slots and more immediate real-time news:
[CTV News Channel Program Structure Adjustment] On July 1, 2020, CTV Digital News Channel adjusted its program structure, gradually increasing live news broadcast time slots from Monday to Friday, focusing on daytime and nighttime periods. On weekends, live news production is strengthened in the afternoon and evening.
After the program structure adjustment, the channel enhanced timeliness and news content, providing the latest developments. It uses phone connections, on-site 4G packs, and SNG interactive links, delivering live or D-LIVE broadcasts and the latest updates via mobile live streaming to provide first-hand on-site information. When major events occur, special reports and live broadcasts are simultaneously conducted online.
(2-2) Long-term Business Development Plan
A. CTV Digital News Channel has been striving for the audience's "right to know" and "speed of knowledge." Since July 31, 2017, the channel has fully launched high-definition (HD) broadcasting services, transforming CTV News Channel into a core platform supplying high-definition news
-63-
and program content production. The integrated "Digital News Editing and Broadcasting System NRCS (Newsroom Computer System)" covers everything from news material collection, text processing, and video editing systems; news editing, headline writing, review, broadcast design, various color and sky banners production; fully digital studio broadcast system; to storage and hierarchical management of all materials and files to meet future multimedia broadcasting needs.
(A1) Channel positioning: a young, informative, close-to-the-people, fast and immediate TV channel focusing on cross-strait and international foresight.
(A2) Relationship between target market and program planning:
(A2-1) Improving news quality and strengthening news editing and review:
To enhance the production of high-definition news and program content and address the prevalence of "fake news," CTV News Editorial Department has reorganized and expanded: establishing independent editorial operations for news and program production, editing and review, breaking news, information provision, broadcast design, and online news production.
To cope with digital convergence and internal resource integration, the news department independently executes large-scale news production, reproduction, rewriting, and compilation to meet the company's news production characteristics and needs. Facing the rise of fake news in recent years, chief editors, reviewers, section editors, center supervisors, photographers, and production staff must follow self-discipline regulations to ensure quality control, making CTV Digital News Channel a competitive, responsible, public-serving, and professional media outlet.
(A2-2) Establishing online news standards to welcome the new media era:
In addition to uploading the latest key news daily to the internet, the digital video editing platform "Online Media Team" irregularly conducts live broadcasts of the most important, hottest, and most relevant news scenes on the internet under the "Topic Scene" section. Selected news materials, program highlights, and behind-the-scenes clips are converted, arranged, and uploaded to the internet, Facebook, and social media platforms for interaction with netizens, allowing CTV viewers to grasp the latest news trends anytime via mobile devices and respond to audience feedback by adjusting content accordingly.
Since 2024, together with the Legal Affairs Office, CTV News has independently formulated the "CTV News Internet News Internal Control and Self-discipline
-64-
Regulations," which regulate the review standards and procedures for news posted on the internet and the standards and procedures for news removal, strengthening internal control and self-discipline.
B. Coordinated efforts and main channel (comprehensive channel) news with a global perspective:
CTV Evening News "CTV News Global Report" is a leading news brand. Every day, the reporting center supervisors and editorial colleagues jointly discuss and select the most significant global news, the most important lifestyle and financial information, and key domestic and international political developments, delivering the most needed and richest information to viewers with refined packaging and clear, concise reporting.
Besides main time slots such as noon and evening news, the overall operational strategy includes presenting the day's important news comprehensively, selecting highly newsworthy and life-related highlight news, combined with social scenes and local human-interest stories, and producing public policy discussion segments to provide forward-looking news programs.
C. Continuously improving the program structure of CTV News Channel:
Producing various types of programs with diversity, quality, and positive energy to attract viewers, create business opportunities, and develop digital content. Besides "real-time news" to cultivate viewers' habit of watching at fixed times, scheduling news programs is also a key strategy. These include news programs like "Starting Point of Change," (改變的起點) "60 Minutes," (60分鐘) and in recent years, new programs such as "Wealth Life Code," (致富生活密碼) "World Big Secrets," (世界大搜秘) "New Horizons of Technology," (科技新視界) "Amazing Ancient and Modern Secrets," (古今揭密大驚奇) and others. Additionally, talk shows like "New Commoners' Boss" (新庶民大頭家) are produced. The news channel also produces high-quality sports and entertainment news programs or segments, such as "Chinese Team Heroes Parade," (中華隊英雄大遊行) "Entertainment Star Avenue," (娛樂星光大道) "Japan Post-Pandemic Tourism Special Report," (日本疫後拚觀光專題報導) "Ear No One! Legendary Player Allen Iverson Fan Meeting," (ear No One! 傳奇球星 ALLEN IVERSON 見面會) and plans and negotiates large-scale live broadcast events, major popular sports events, or documentaries to enhance the channel's breadth and depth.
D. Advancing New Media to Build Interactive Platforms
The news channel's real-time news platform provides immediate and diverse content. CTV News leverages digital platforms to simultaneously deliver fast and instant updates, reaching users across different devices and segmented audiences, thereby enhancing viewer services. In response to the booming development of domestic and
-65-
international internet TV and the growing market demand, CTV is developing internet-exclusive content and gradually managing new channels. Beyond existing cooperative platforms, CTV News will seek more cross-disciplinary collaborations with new media platforms and develop native live content such as Legislative Yuan live broadcasts and breaking news. It will also integrate new technologies like virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and recently actively developed AI technologies for news image generation and live voice translation, conducting integrated testing. With high-quality content, CTV aims to develop online audiences to increase brand visibility and revenue sources.
E. Integrating Marketing of Digital Programs and Revitalizing HD Digital Content Archives
CTV News Department holds copyrights for programs such as "Starting Point of Change," "Sixty Minutes," "Commoner Boss," (庶民大赢家) and "New Commoner Boss," (新庶民大赢家) all high-quality HD digital programs that can generate revenue through copyright sales and online operations.
The organization of CTV's traditional analog and SD tape archives, including news tapes, has been completed up to 77.28%. The next step is to continue categorizing and converting these into HD or internet-usable resources.
F. Actively Participating in Awards to Gain Honors and Strengthen Brand Image
CTV News frequently wins awards in various news competitions. Moving forward, it will continue to participate in news award contests to improve the quality of news, special reports, and programs, cultivate reporters and program producers, motivate team morale, and consolidate a high-quality news brand image. This is an important ongoing business task for CTV News in the medium to long term.
(3) Planning for CTV Bravo! (CTV-Jingcai Channel):
Differentiated from the General Channel and CTV Classic, it targets young viewers. Besides airing popular self-produced variety shows, quality dramas, travelogues, and health information programs, it strengthens cooperation with other platforms by selecting popular programs from various channels that fit the audience profile, increasing the rate of new program broadcasts and shaping a fresh channel image.
A. Air the popular variety show "Hunger Games" (飘飘遊戲) during prime time at 8 PM from Monday to Saturday to cultivate young viewers' watching habits through entertaining game competitions and attract a young audience.
B. Purchase and broadcast food, talk, game variety shows, travelogues, and health information programs to offer viewers diverse choices.
C. Purchase quality dramas with rich, diverse, and youthful content to cultivate the target audience.
D. Utilize online viewing habits by producing programs designed for sharing and circulation on the internet to maximize impact.
-66-
E. Seek cooperation with other channels, for example: live simulcast with Da Li TV of programs like "Songs All Over the World" (歌聲滿天下) and "Dusk Date," (黃昏的約會) using real-time interactive program styles to increase viewer stickiness and loyalty; collaborate with the Indigenous Channel to air "Kai Test Heroes," (Kai試英雄) a learning program that breaks the traditional framework of indigenous language teaching by using competitions to practice listening, speaking, reading, writing indigenous languages and symbols, thereby expanding the viewer base.
F. Provide viewers with opportunities to access artistic programs and create a new channel image, such as airing cultural variety shows, documentaries, and live broadcasts of traditional arts Golden Melody Awards ceremonies.
G. Continue to strive for live broadcasts of large-scale evening events to create channel uniqueness. Examples include broadcasting major events like "The 2025th National Day Fireworks in Nantou" and outdoor performances such as "2025 Miaoli Christmas City CHILL Show," "2025 Miaoli Christmas City CHILL Party," "2025 Miaoli Christmas City CHILL Carnival," and "2025 Miaoli Christmas City CHILL Explosion Night."
H. Serve media access for people with disabilities by continuing to broadcast audio-described versions of TV movies, providing visually impaired audiences with an alternative way to enjoy visual content.
(4) Planning for CTV Classic Channel:
Differentiated from the General Channel and CTV Bravo!, it targets middle-aged and senior viewers by carefully selecting diverse classic dramas and variety shows. Through cooperation with other platforms, it offers viewers different program choices, increases the rate of new program broadcasts, and establishes a new channel image.
A. Select classic CTV dramas, variety shows, and travelogues to meet the target audience's desire to revisit quality shows and programs.
B. Purchase various types of domestically produced classic programs, enriching channel content, including food cooking and talk variety shows.
C. Strengthen cooperation with other platforms, such as live simulcasts with Da Li TV of "Lohas Youth GO," (樂活青春 GO) providing the target audience opportunities to relive classic good songs.

Establishing a Multi-Platform Service
By introducing a media asset system, a foundational infrastructure for CTV's digital operation integration is established. This further combines the multi-channel operational environment needs of various professional departments (such as the News Department, Programming Department, Engineering Department, etc.), enhancing the efficiency of high-quality production and operational productivity. With an overall consideration of workflow and system integration, mechanisms for digital archive system operations, non-linear editing operations, automated news gathering, editing, and broadcasting operations, as well as automated master control digital broadcasting operations, are built. These serve as the core foundation to meet the digitalization demands of the media industry network.

In the future, we will continue to develop exclusive online content and services for various streaming media to increase CTV's market share in digital content.
B.Drama:
In 2025, weekday 8-9 PM slots aired popular mainland Chinese costume dramas such as “The Legend of Yun Xiang,”(雲襄傳) “Ning An Ru Meng,”(寧安如夢) “Ink Rain Between Clouds,”(墨雨雲間) and “The Song of Chang Le,”(長樂曲) as well as domestic modern dramas like “X! It’s Monday Again,”(X!又是星期一) “Secretary Club,”(秘書俱樂部) “Me and My Steel Wall,”(我和我的鋼四壁) “Complete Money-Saving Love Manual,”(完全省錢戀愛手冊) and “San Francisco Beauty Salon,”(舊金山美容院) all of which were warmly welcomed and highly praised by viewers. Weekday 10 PM slots featured specially selected classic mainland dramas such as “Chang Feng Du,”(長風渡) “Under the Power,”(錦衣之下) and “Dream of Splendor”(夢華錄) to serve fans of mainland dramas.
In 2026, the weekday 8-10 PM drama slots will air modern dramas “San Francisco Beauty Salon” and strong mainland dramas “Hard to Please,” “Joy of Life Seasons 1 & 2,” “The Sea of Tranquility,” and “Carefree Crossing” in the first half of the year.

Additionally, to serve movie lovers, starting April 12, a “CTV Blockbuster Cinema” will be aired on Sunday nights at 10 PM, featuring selected Disney movies to provide viewers with diverse program choices.
C.Variety Shows:
CTV variety shows emphasize diverse formats including singing, reality games, quizzes, and competitions. On Saturday nights at 8 PM, the self-produced large-scale singing variety show “Variety Top One”(綜藝一級棒) has performed well since its premiere in June 2024, frequently ranking first in ratings among free-to-air channels in the same time slot and often topping all channels on Saturday in both A4+ and A25-49 demographics. At 10 PM on Saturdays, the co-produced show with Sanlih TV “Variety Play Big”(綜藝玩很大) continues to maintain good ratings. On Sunday nights at 8 PM, the outdoor reality game show “Hunger Games,” featuring a host team competing in wit and strength with excellent chemistry, offers viewers a unique content experience and performs well in ratings. Weekday 6 PM slots air the quiz variety show “National Star Strategy,”(全民星攻略) which has steadily grown in ratings and, after a new 3.0 version launch, repeatedly set new high points in the 25-49 age group.

Eve 2026, which was rich and entertaining, achieving excellent ratings and becoming a new choice for viewers' New Year's Eve special programs.
(2) Program Copyright Sales Market:
Sales and distribution in Southeast Asian countries have steadily grown, continuing CTV's past success in selling high-quality large-scale variety shows. We actively promote reality game shows like "Hunger Games" in Chinese-speaking markets such as Hong Kong and Singapore. In the future, we will continue to expand development of overseas Chinese digital media markets and attempt to license translated versions in multiple languages for overseas channel distribution to broaden program influence. At the same time, we will integrate marketing efforts combining CTV's high-quality dramas over the years and new 8 PM drama slots. In recent years, emerging markets and new media markets such as Vietnam and Indonesia have developed rapidly, with frequent market competition causing a surge in demand for legitimate copyrights. We believe the southbound market will see significant growth going forward.

Favorable and Unfavorable Factors and Countermeasures:
Times are changing, and so is the environment. Facing various competitions, the united goal of all CTV employees is to create the greatest benefit for the company. Therefore, through review and analysis, we will actively seize opportunities, mitigate potential threats, leverage existing advantages, reverse disadvantages, strive for business opportunities, and work hard to create a great future.
※Strengths
■ CTV operates the most popular and well-received programs, constantly seeking innovation and diversity in formats and rich content to meet the needs of different time slots and target audiences, which are well-loved by viewers. For example, in the 2026, the drama lineup included carefully selected high-quality domestic productions such as "San Francisco Beauty Salon" (舊金山美容院) and popular mainland Chinese dramas like "Hard to Spoil," (難哄) "Joy of Life Season 1 & 2," (慶餘年第 1 季+第 2 季) "Cang Hai Chuan," (藏海傳) and "Carefree Crossing." (無憂渡) Upcoming domestic costume dramas include "Upstairs Downstairs," (樓上樓下) "Come Home Early," (早點回家) and "Happy Birthday." (生日快樂) Additionally, a movie slot was opened on Sunday nights at 10 PM featuring Disney movies. Variety shows include the continuously popular weekend large-scale variety show "Variety First Class," outdoor reality shows "Variety Play Big," "Hunger Games," quality singing variety show "Singing for You," and the record-breaking weekday quiz show "National Star Strategy" (全民星攻略) and signature documentary travel shows "Exploring Mainland China" and "M.I.T. Taiwan Chronicles."
■ Continues to plan cooperation with excellent production units and producers, commissioning or investing in the production of prime-time dramas, series, large-scale variety shows, and reality shows. Drama direction focuses on the 8-9 PM market needs, emphasizing a light, companionable, warm, and inspirational
-71-
atmosphere to attract viewers, increase ratings, and boost revenue sources. Variety shows emphasize entertainment and intelligence, suitable for family viewing, and strive for audience interaction, integration with new digital platforms, lowering viewer age demographics, providing product placement opportunities, seeking external resources, and expanding program effectiveness.
■CTV has always valued the social responsibility of wireless media, emphasizing program quality alongside pursuing ratings and influence, aiming to bring viewers happy, warm, and enjoyable leisure time.
■CTV gathers the best variety and drama production units, producers, hosts, and popular actors in Taiwan's television industry, including Golden Bell Award winners, such as production companies Quanfu Communication, Haokan Entertainment, Belide, etc.; variety show hosts like Wu Zongxian, Sun Xiezhi, Wang Renfu, Xu Mengzhe, Kang Kang, Xu Zhihao, Chen Suiyi, Chen Mengxian, Li Zisen, Du Xintian, KID, Xie Kunda, Cai Huangru, Qun Qun, Lin Sha, etc.; drama actors like Ke Shuyuan, Weng Jiaming, Liu Pinyan, Lian Chenxiang, Zhang Guangchen, Fang Zhiyou, Yang Mingwei, Yang Qing, etc.
■Actively cultivates internal production teams to produce quality variety shows, travel programs, and special programs such as "Singing for You,"(唱歌给你聽) "Variety First Class,"(綜藝一級棒) "Exploring Mainland China,"(大陸尊奇) and New Year's Eve specials, achieving both good ratings and reputation.
■News and weather programs have high viewer loyalty; CTV's self-produced news and weather are leading brands in their category, far ahead of competitors.
■Produces large-scale variety shows, travel programs, talk shows, prime-time dramas, and TV movies in HD format, continuously revitalizing and remaking classic programs to enrich the HD high-definition content library, providing viewers with the best audiovisual feast.
■Since June 2024, CTV has produced the weekend large-scale variety show "Variety First Class"; since October 2025, it has aired the new weekday quality singing program "Singing for You," both well received by viewers. At the end of 2025, CTV produced the New Year's Eve special "Full Power Red and White Song Battle," which aired on February 16, 2026, with good ratings. The digital news system completion allows cooperation with cross-industry media to reduce costs, expand operational scale, and create shared advantages.
CTV has an advantage in digital media development due to earlier market layout than competitors, leading in external cooperation and business model development. Recently, with the booming OTT platforms and shrinking wireless TV environment impacting program production, CTV continues to invest in developing and producing programs like "Variety First Class," "Singing for You," "Hunger Games," and "Exploring Mainland China." The program marketing integration center also cooperates with the company to develop new external cooperation business models, creating diversified content and revenue sources to meet challenges brought by digital convergence.
※Weaknesses
After cable TV channel allocation, with family-type groups owning 3-8 channels each, each channel has a clear positioning, leading to cable channel viewership growth, which has taken a large share of TV advertising volume and ratings.
Due to government budget law revisions, government units at all levels are prohibited from product placement marketing; media programs commissioned or subsidized by the government must disclose as advertisements throughout the broadcast, leading to a significant reduction in government promotional budgets.
Taiwan fully entered the digital era on July 1, 2012, but developing digital wireless TV requires huge investments in digital program content development.
The diversification of transmission platforms such as wireless, cable, and OTT has changed viewer habits.
Although prime-time dramas select quality productions, competing programs in the same time slot mainly consist of long-running dramas featuring violence and negative sensational content, maintaining high ratings and affecting CTV's prime-time ratings.
Competition among variety shows in the same time slot is fierce; even high-cost productions do not necessarily guarantee ratings; high ratings do not always cover costs through advertising revenue alone.
Due to unclear policy directions and insufficient industry support, although digital TV started broadcasting in 2004, a stable business model has yet to develop, causing hesitation and ambiguity among wireless TV stations facing new challenges.
The amendment of the three broadcasting laws legalized commercial product placement but includes several restrictions and prohibitions, such as banning placement in news and children's programs, and prohibiting placement of tobacco, alcohol, international marriage matchmaking, prescription or government-designated drugs, etc. Additionally, from September 8, 2019, non-domestic programs broadcast from 7 PM to 11 PM daily cannot accept title sponsorship.
The domestic program management regulations effective January 8, 2017, require that prime-time domestic dramas must reach 50% of similar program types, limiting programming flexibility.
Opportunities
Wireless digital TV broadcasting platforms can be divided into fixed and mobile reception. Purchasing an HD set-top box allows free viewing of 19 HD and 3 SD programs. With the government completing digital transition by the end of June 2012, fully receiving digital TV, opportunities should be seized to enhance program diversity and richness to attract viewers, increase ratings, and generate advertising revenue.
Digital news channels on national cable channels, targeting channel 154, continue to attract viewers, with stable growth in MOD500 channel viewership.
Self-produced programs such as "New Commoner Boss," (新庶民大頭家) "Sixty Minutes," (六十分鐘) "Starting Point of Change," (改變的起點) "Wealth Life Code," (致富生活密碼) "World Search," (世界大搜秘) "New Technology
-73-
Vision,"(科技新视界) "Ancient and Modern Secrets,"(古今揭密大驚奇) and "Entertainment Star Avenue"(娛樂星光大道) attract viewers with quality content.
■ Expanding cooperation with foreign media such as Japan’s Asahi Shimbun for intellectual and newsworthy tourism programs to gain viewership and revenue.
■ CTV news online live streaming and fan page management are popular among domestic and overseas (Chinese-speaking) audiences, gradually opening new media niches.
■ NCC opening of program placement, sponsorship, and title sponsorship helps attract more external funding to enhance production budgets, create better programs, and strengthen channel competitiveness.
■ Prime-time drama scheduling considers viewer demand and market changes, selecting quality dramas and actively expanding cooperation opportunities and partners to strengthen competitiveness.
■ The Taiwanese short-series drama market is highly competitive, with limited excellent production units and producers; the new year will continue actively purchasing dramas best suited for TV channels and starring popular actors.
■ Self-produced variety shows "Hunger Games," "Variety First Class," and travel program "Exploring Mainland China" perform well in the same time slot competition, helping secure product placement and title sponsorship to expand revenue sources.
■ Accepting commissions for large concerts and striving to produce large-scale gala shows to enhance corporate image and establish channel branding.
※ Threats
■ Cable TV block division has cultivated viewer habits favoring cable TV, causing wireless TV audience to gradually decline.
■ The arrival of the multimedia era and continuous growth of internet users, with multi-screen viewing becoming a trend, reduces TV viewing time, making TV no longer the primary source of information.
■ Digital TV viewership growth is slow and has yet to become a stable and sizable source of advertising revenue, hindering digital TV development.
■ Competition for weekend large-scale variety shows is intense; weekend drama programs are less attractive on TV than before.
■ Domestic and overseas online piracy of programs is rampant; various program download websites and apps are unregulated, affecting TV program viewership and revenue.
■ The main lifeline of TV stations is advertising revenue, but competition from various emerging media platforms for limited overall advertising budgets indirectly affects program production scale.
■ After cable channel 52 became vacant, CTV News Channel took over, and TTV News Channel is also striving for exposure on other cable channels.
Compared with other TV markets, Taiwan’s TV market size is limited, and various emerging transmission platforms continue to appear and grow, making the competitive environment increasingly fierce. However, crisis is opportunity; new platforms represent new opportunities, new content represents new markets.

All CTV staff will bravely face challenges, insist on quality, seize all opportunities, and create new brilliance for CTV.
(II) Important uses and production process of main products
1. Important uses of main products
The company's main products are news and programs, delivered through television media as media services, providing media broadcast advertising to earn corresponding profits.
Ratings relate to the TV station's main revenue source—advertising business opportunities and growth. Among various TV programs, dramas and variety shows are most favored by advertisers. Therefore, program design requires content to meet specific target groups, such as male or female, occupation, and age group needs, to boost ratings and attract advertising budgets.
Commercial product placement is another important business revenue source. After government opened title sponsorship, sponsorship, and product placement, various program types (except news and children's programs) can provide product placement opportunities where appropriate. Different programs suit different products and placement methods; higher ratings mean more product placement opportunities. For example, CTV's well-performing outdoor reality variety show "Hunger Games" often cooperates with festival events, tourism promotions, or gourmet gift placements. Additionally, many dramas, variety, and travel programs have obtained title sponsorships, including domestic costume dramas "Agai Eight-in-One Strong Tablets: Me and My Steel Wall,"(阿鈞八合一強效錠我和我的鋼四壁)"Agai Eight-in-One Strong Tablets: Complete Money-Saving Love Manual,"(阿鈞八合一強效錠完全省錢戀愛手冊) and variety shows "Anmeino Whitening Repair Cream Variety First Class,"(安美諾美白修復霜綜藝一級棒)"Dongyong Water Heater Variety First Class,"(東湧熱水器綜藝一級棒)"Ania Cosmetics Cleansing Sensitive Mousse Variety Play Big,"(愛妮雅化妝品潔顏柔敏慕斯綜藝玩很大)"Agai Eight-in-One Strong Tablets Hunger Games,"(阿鈞八合一強效錠骯蛾遊戲)"Kyoto Nian Ci An National Star Strategy,"(京都念慈庵全民星攻略)"Agai Eight-in-One Strong Tablets Singing for You,"(阿鈞八合一強效錠唱歌給你聽) and "Agai Eight-in-One Strong Tablets Hope of the Whole Village,"(阿鈞八合一強效錠全村的希望) as well as travel program "Yingcai Cultural and Educational Foundation Exploring Mainland China"(英才文教基金會大陸尋奇) and New Year's Eve special "Dongyong Water Heater Full Power Red and White Song Battle."(東湧熱水器馬力全開紅白歌合戰)
Copyright sales: Nowadays, various streaming media platforms' scale and revenue have surpassed traditional TV, attracting digital cable TV, telecom operators, and other new media operators to accelerate video market development. Overseas broadcast rights and copyright sales including digital media such as IPTV and OTT have become another revenue source beyond traditional TV advertising.
Developing online video products: With the booming online video platforms and thriving social networks, CTV actively develops its own copyrighted programs for uploading to YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and OTT platforms for viewer clicks and revenue sharing, increasing income sources.

(I) Impact of interest rate, exchange rate fluctuations, and inflation on the company's profit and loss and future countermeasures:
The company's original financial structure had a relatively high debt ratio; if interest rates rise, interest burdens will increase. As the company operates in a domestic demand industry, the impact of exchange rate fluctuations is limited. To cope with inflation, materials for program production are negotiated once annually based on total yearly demand and procured in batches to reduce the pressure of rising prices.
(II) Policies on engaging in high-risk, high-leverage investments, lending funds to others, endorsements and guarantees, and derivative transactions; main reasons for profits or losses and future countermeasures:
The company does not participate in high-risk or high-leverage investments nor engage in derivative transactions. Regarding lending funds to others and endorsements/guarantees, all are handled according to the established "Procedures for Lending Funds to Others" and "Procedures for Endorsements and Guarantees."

(III) Future R&D plans and expected R&D expenditures
The company’s planned new products (services) development:
-
In the field of wireless digital television (DVB-T), the company has completed the establishment of a high-efficiency audio-video compression digital headend system. Since February 15, 2016, all wireless channels have been officially upgraded to high-definition (HD) broadcasting. Subsequently, on July 31, 2017, the CTV News Channel was upgraded to HD, and from August 3, 2020, the CTV Elite Channel and CTV Classic Channel were also upgraded, achieving full HD broadcasting across four channels. At the same time, the channel mirror design was updated, launching the "CTV Family" series of channels to enhance overall visual identity and viewer experience. Additionally, to improve signal quality in the Beitou(北投) and Bali(八里) areas, 100W gap fillers made in Germany and Spain were installed at the Danfeng Mountain relay station in September 2020 and the Bali(八里) relay station in November 2021, respectively. All related equipment has passed inspection and is officially operational. In the future, relevant equipment will be updated timely according to demand to further improve overall service quality.
-
For broadcasting development and keeping pace with the times in reporting, production, new media, and program R&D plans, after equipment procurement, the company will continue personnel training, equipment integration, program innovation, and revenue integration to create innovative, timely, interactive, and competitive quality content.
(1) News production R&D plan: Testing "real-time automatic Chinese closed captioning" to allow viewers to "hear" and "see" live news simultaneously, helping them better understand what is being said and what is happening on site.
(2) Facebook interactive voting R&D plan: After the U.S. presidential election, the company observed advanced international media’s new media voting technologies and developed voting and integration of Facebook "Like" reaction emoji voting interfaces on the news department’s Facebook fan page.
(3) Live broadcast technology breakthroughs: Besides purchasing drones to provide viewers with a god’s-eye view from above for a comprehensive perspective of news scenes, CTV News also purchased an Insta360 multi-angle selfie set to offer more angles and fun shots during large gatherings, celebrations, travel features, and other news coverage, catering to viewers accustomed to mobile window viewing modes.
(4) Overseas program production R&D plan: To meet the demand for cross-border live commentary, the company purchased near-zero latency bidirectional network IP codec and other real-time transmission equipment to provide high-definition overseas interviews and commentary connections.
- Regarding the interactive influence of communication technology and internet convergence, coupled with the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), there has been a significant impact on news production. CTV News continuously breaks new ground by investing resources in "image generation" technologies, including Chat GPT, Runway, PixVerse AI, Ji Meng AI, Ke Ling AI, and Super Grok AI, researching how to use AI generation technology to assist news presentation, enabling
viewers to understand news content more intuitively. The company actively introduces AI technology to enhance post-production capabilities and strengthen visual creative expression. Through AI technology for image quality restoration and optimization, image defects can be effectively removed and details enhanced, further improving overall program quality and visual effects. Additionally, the company continues to test and optimize subtitle systems combining AI speech recognition and real-time translation technology, applying them to TV broadcasting and post-production processes to improve subtitle generation efficiency and enhance multilingual content service capabilities.
(IV) Impact of important domestic and international policy and legal changes on the company's financial and business operations and countermeasures:
The company complies with national policies and laws. Relevant departments closely monitor important policy and legal changes and adjust internal systems and business activities accordingly to ensure smooth operations. The company continuously pays attention to important domestic and international policy and legal changes and evaluates responses as needed.
(V) Impact of technological changes and industry shifts on the company's financial and business operations and countermeasures:
With continuous technological advancement, the film and television industry has moved toward high-definition broadcasting and diverse digital platforms. The company has adjusted its operation structure from three standard definition (SD) channels to four high-definition (HD) channels. This transformation not only drives adjustments in advertising business structure but also enhances content added value. The company actively develops new media content, distributing and licensing through online video platforms and digital channels to expand audiences and strengthen channel cooperation, developing diversified monetization models expected to positively impact the company's financial and business performance.
(VI) Impact of changes in corporate image on corporate crisis management and countermeasures:
The company has always been people-oriented and customer-centered, striving to serve society with professionalism and integrity as its principles. It values corporate image and risk control. To date, no incidents have occurred that would affect the corporate image. In pursuing operational growth and maximizing shareholder equity, the company will continue to comply with government laws and regulations and fulfill corporate social responsibility to maintain a good corporate image.
(VII) Expected benefits, possible risks, and countermeasures of mergers and acquisitions: None.
(VIII) Expected benefits, possible risks, and countermeasures of plant expansion: None.
-93-
(IX) Risks faced due to concentration of purchases or sales and countermeasures:
The company's main sales customers are media service companies and advertising agencies. Besides strengthening credit management, the company also requires substantial collateral. For new customers, credit checks are conducted beforehand, and execution proceeds only after customer confirmation is signed. Additionally, accounts receivable are tracked and managed monthly, with current results being good.
Regarding copyright sales, besides efforts to reduce potential risks, new markets and customers mainly adopt revenue-sharing models to reduce operating costs. For digital copyright sales, a policy of payment before delivery is implemented to protect the company's rights.
(X) Impact, risks, and countermeasures regarding substantial transfer or replacement of shares held by directors, supervisors, or major shareholders holding more than 10% of shares:
As of the date of printing this annual report, the company has not experienced any substantial transfer or replacement of shares held by directors, supervisors, or major shareholders holding more than 10% of the company's shares.
