Hainan Television (HNWTV) (Chinese: 海南电视台) is a state media television station in Hainan, China.

It was established in August 1982, and began broadcasting on October 1, 1984.

The station has five studios, two of which are 1,000 m2 and 400 m2.

The station is currently in the process of digitizing its broadcast equipment, and plans to adopt nonlinear editing and digital compression technology for program transmission.[1]

In 2024, Hainan TV suspended a host for anti-Japanese remarks in response to the 2024 Noto earthquake.[2]

In June 2025, the Hainan international communication center, called the Hainan International Media Center (HIMC), was created with the support of Hainan Television and the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade to focus on Sino-Arab relations.[3][4]
