Flamboyant TV host Li Yong has been ranked as China's mostbankable(有价值的,可盈利的。a bankable movie star:富有票房率的电影明星)TV personality, with a projected brand value( 品牌价值)of 500 million yuan (US$60 million).
Wang Xiaoya, Li's colleague atChina Central Television (CCTV) and Dou Wentao, who works for Hong Kong-based Phoenix Television, came second and third with projected brand values of 340 million yuan (US$42.5 million) and 320 million yuan (US$40 million) respectively.
The annual rating(评估), conducted by World Brand Laboratory, is regarded as an authoritative measure of the value of Chinese televisioncelebrities（名人）.
The top 10 most bankable hosts on the list, five men and five women, had a total projected brand value of 2.5 billion yuan (US$312.5 million).
Li has ranked first each time since the launch of the list in 2004. Li is the host of programmes"Lucky 52"and "Dream of China," and for the last five years he has hosted the prestigious CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
For the first time two provincial television hosts, including "Super Girls" host Wang Han, made the list.
Analysts said brand value has been a backbone of the entertainment, advertising and sports industries for decades.
Ding Haisen of World Brand Laboratory told reporters that the purpose of the ranking is to promote brand awareness and emphasize the value of popular hosts.
While Li's value seems impressive, it is just 4.4 per cent of the queen of US daytime TV Oprah Winfrey, Ding said.
Oprah's show attracts a weekly audience of 30 million in the United States, while Li is seen by 50 million.
"It shows that we do not pay enough attention to the value of TV hosts and their brand," Ding said. (Agencies)作者: chm8624 时间: 2007-10-14 22:00
