The story

The CFTV company, a joint-stock and program operating company, was established on January 18, 2001. The Qingdao Broadcast and Television Bureau (青岛广播电视局 Qīngdǎo Guǎngbō Diànshì Jú) invested in CFTV during its structural reformation. The first show produced by the company was the Man-Han Style Banquet, which was broadcast on China Central Television (CCTV) and Qingdao TV.

The State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television (SARFT) permitted the company to establish its own national pay television cable channel. The channel was officially launched on November 8, 2005.

China Food TV sponsors the "Mid-Autumn Food Festival" and the "Sino-German Food Dialogue", two events that occur during the Asia-Pacific Weeks (German: Asien-Pazifik-Wochen, APW) celebration in Berlin, Germany.

The Chinese version of the channel ceased broadcasting on 1 April 2025; the US version, China Food TV USA, will continue broadcasting for the foreseeable future.
