Jinan Radio and Television (济南广播电视台) is the city broadcaster of Jinan, Shandong, and runs the Tianxia Quancheng (天下泉城) news app.
In September 2019 it introduced Xiao Mo’er (小沫儿), presented as the first AI virtual anchor at any city-level broadcaster in China, built with FaceUnity (相芯科技) for the station’s smart all-media centre. A 2023 paper for the China Association of News Technicians’ annual conference used its virtual digital human Lingquan’er (灵泉儿) as a case study in lightweight digital-human production. In January 2024 a digital anchor, Sixuan (思萱), joined what the station calls its digital-human team for the Quancheng press-hall (泉城发布厅) programme.
On 28 February 2025 the station launched AI Time (AI时间), which the Shandong provincial broadcasting bureau described as the first full-process AI channel at a city broadcaster, built with DeepSeek and other AI tools. In February 2026 it staged an all-AI-generated Spring Festival show hosted by digital figures, among them Qing Xiaozhao (清小照) and Quan Xiaobao (泉小趵), the anime spokespersons of the Jinan municipal government’s news office.
