"The geographic gap definitely exists," admits some Ho Li-jen, marketing director for CTN's Taipei center. In terms of ratings and advertising revenue, CTN definitely loses out to TVBS. But in terms of spread and access, it's hard to compare. CTN is available to Chinese in North America, mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
「地緣關係的落差一定存在」，CTN 台北中心的市場業務部經理何立仁承認，就收視率和廣告吸收金額來說，CTN 的確不敵 TVBS；但若就普及率來說，就很難比較了。
