Tips

culture
广电 is the ubiquitous abbreviation of 广播电视 (radio and television). The national-level body is 国家广电总局 - the primary Chinese content regulator, notorious for approving/rejecting dramas, limiting airtime of foreign content, and issuing periodic "clean-up" directives.
usage
The name has changed over the years: historically 广电局, then 广电总局 at the national level, most recently 国家广播电视总局 (since 2018). Locally people still say 广电局 regardless of the current official title.
