The Council for Hakka Affairs monitored the station until Taiwanese legislators added it to the Taiwan Broadcasting System in April 2011.[2][3] It is the only television station in the world that chiefly televises its programmes in the Hakka language.[4] Taiwan Today said, "Hakka TV’s success owes much to its high-quality dramas, many of which draw inspiration from Hakka literature."[4]
