Mango TV (simplified Chinese: 芒果TV) is a Chinese internet enterprise operated by mgtv.com Corporation. Mango TV was established on May 26, 2006 in Changsha, Hunan and later decided to use 'Mango TV(Internet TV, PC, Phone and Pad)' as their video platform branding title in 2008. Mango TV specializes in creating online videos and is an online platform providing all of the content in TV channels, videos and news from Hunan Broadcasting System and Hunan Satellite TV. Its current headquarter is located in Golden Eagle Movie&TV Cultural City, Changsha, Hunan, China. Mango TV provides audience with all kinds of content including films, TV series, music, cartoons and entertainment.

On April 31, 2016, Mango TV was reported to have 39 million daily active users on its website, with the content from Hunan Satellite TV only containing 38% in all that Mango TV has produced.

History development
Mango TV was established on May 26, 2006, in Changsha, Hunan, by Ruobo Zhang, the former Mango TV Chairman&CEO.

On April 20, 2014, the original Mango TV and Golden Eagle website were integrated into the only online video platform which exclusively holds all of Hunan Broadcasting System and Hunan Satellite TV's content and enjoys their copyright works, also known as 'Mango Exclusive Broadcast'. In October 2014, Mango TV created first self-produced network drama 'Huayang Jianghu'.

In 2015, Mango TV has experienced a shift from 'Exclusive Broadcast' to 'Unique Content', during which period they have reached to 60 million users on the platform. In October 2015, Mango TV built collaboration and signed a memorandum with BBC World to seek for opportunities on more co-production and global market.

On New Year Countdown Night 2014 held by Hunan Satellite TV, Mango TV launched five-screen live broadcast mode, allowing audience to select different cameras and angles to watch the celebration.

Mango TV originals

Drama
In October 2014, Mango TV's first self-produced network drama 'Huayang Jianghu' debuted, which featured ancient Chinese world and costumes and starred young idols. In late 2014, Mango TV produced the second drama 'Jinpai Hongniang'. The drama featured fixed cast compared to previous network dramas which are more likely to present with different actors.

Network show
In 2015, Mango TV produced the first interactive network live show 'Perfect Holiday', featuring normal young participants living in the same house. The production used multi-slot cameras which enabled audience to watch the show with different angles of rooms. Later in July 2016, 'Perfect Holiday 2' debuted with more rooms in different themes. It added new IP cameras that would follow the participants all the time, which increased the sense of entertainment.

Later in 2015, Mango TV introduced 'the Million Second Quiz' from NBC, hosted by Kevin Tsai. Keeping the main sections of the show, Mango TV added new online interactive Q&A.

In 2016, sponsored exclusively by JD.com, Mango TV produced 'Crime Scene'. It is originated from Korea show and featured content in both thrill and humor.

Hunan satellite TV
With 'Mango Exclusive Broadcast', Mango TV provides all the content from Hunan Satellite TV exclusively. Some of the notable shows are as follow:

Happy Camp (variety show)

Day Day Up

Super Girl (TV series)

Super Boy (TV series)

Mango Hi Q
Mango Hi Q is a HD IPTV set-top box(STB) which enable users to request TV programs, movies, music and games.

It enjoys the copyright works of Hunan Satellite TV and Mango TV. Users can use Mobile App Wechat to search for video content and watch them on Television.

Finance
On June 23, 2016, Mango TV has completed series B funding with nearly 1.5 billion.

Its estimated value now is 13.5 billion and was planning to go public in 2016. But the plan failed and Mango TV ended up in being included into Happigo Home Shopping Co. Ltd, going public with other six companies.

Critics stated that it would be better for Mango TV to obtain fully-controlled operating authority. With Hunan Broadcasting System owning more than 50% shares, it's hard for Mango TV to make decisions all by itself.
