'''Xing Kong''' is a [[Standard Chinese|Mandarin]]-language television channel targeting [[Mainland China]], currently owned by [[Star China Media]] (a subsidiary of [[China Media Capital]]). The channel was originally launched by [[Fox Networks Group Asia Pacific|Star TV]] in Hong Kong, but Star TV later sold the channel to China Media Capital. It was voted "Satellite Channel of the Year" at the 2002 China Television Programme Awards. The channel is packed with more than 700 hours of original programming each year, with content that includes drama series, music, news, cartoon, comedies, variety, lifestyle, health, food, home and living, talk and game shows. Xing Kong was similar to other Mandarin language entertainment channels like [[Star Chinese Channel]] in Taiwan (which was named Star) and [[Phoenix Chinese Channel]] ([[21st Century Fox]] sold its remaining shares in [[Phoenix Television]] in 2013).
  
Outside Mainland China, the international version of Xing Kong is currently available in Hong Kong, [[Macau]], Malaysia,  Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Middle East (United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, Yemen, Israel, and the territories), Canada, United States, Australia and the Philippines. Xing Kong is available as free-to-view on AsiaSat 7 over the Asia-Pacific region (given that the local laws permit the use of privately owned satellite dishes).

==Availability==
Xing Kong alongside its international channel are available free-to-air on AsiaSat 3S (now AsiaSat 7) over the Asia-Pacific region (given that the local laws permit the use of privately owned Satellite dishes). This coverage spans from [[Outer Mongolia]] all the way to Australia and New Zealand. Although the [[geostationary]] satellite is located directly above China, private satellite tuning is prohibited in the mainland.

In Indonesia, the channel is available on [[First Media (Indonesian media company)|First Media]] and in Singapore via IPTV ([[Singtel TV]]) but it was closed on 2021.
