China's version of U.S. satire show "Saturday Night Live" has temporarily been pulled from a domestic video site amid a crackdown on content ranging from online blogs to livestreams.
The news comes after China's content regulator urged media platforms last week to produce and broadcast "positive energy" programs to teenagers, and protect them from "low taste and harmful programs" during summer vacation.
The Chinese-produced show, which premiered late in June, hosted by comedy duo Yue Yunpeng and Chen He, has been pulled from video site Youku, a spokeswoman for the platform said Wednesday, but added it could be back soon.
