Lecture Room is a Chinese television programme produced by
China Central Television (CCTV), in which scholars from various disciplines are invited to provide lectures. It was first broadcast on 9 July 2001 on
CCTV-10. In its early days, featured topics included
biology,
physics,
economics,
history and
literature, and the lecturers were from around the world. Its focus has gradually changed, as recent programmes focus more on
Chinese history and
Chinese culture.
The show's title is literally translated as The Hundred Schools of Thought Forum. Lecture Room is only an English adaptation of its Chinese title.
