TV program reveals metropolitan spirits

International Channel Shanghai has been running the new TV program Cosmo Times since the New Year. It focuses on the latest trends and events in culture, fashion and dining in major metropolises, including Beijing, Shanghai and New York City. In addition to telling viewers about the latest happenings in these cities, the show also seeks to compare and explain their different cosmopolitan spirits.

The first two months will focus on good Chinese restaurants in three cities and ideas about ways to spend the Chinese Lunar New Year in New York City.

Celebrity fashion designers, such as Sex and the City's stylist Patricia Field and Shanghai designer Ji Cheng, will talk about how to dress fabulously in the new season. On Valentine's Day, single people will share their love stories and attitudes about marriage.

The bilingual program is broadcast every Saturday night at 8 pm.
