This year, the base price for sponsoring the a popular TV dating show from Jiangsu TV station 'If you are the one' (fei cheng wu rao — pictured) is set at US$5.9 million (RMB40 million) for a season. The total base price for TV and online advertising slots and sponsorship for the whole year of 2011 is US$59 million (RMB400 million), making it the most expensive show for advertisers.

Anhui TV station will hold the bidding on 20 November, while Jiangsu and Hunan's auctions are to be held on 5 and 10 November respectively — all ahead of CCTV's upfront ads sales.
