Jin Yue, helmsman of CCTV Spring Festival Gala 2007, said a familiar string of popular CCTV presenters will again preside over the new year gala, dismissing speculations that young, fresh faces will replace old ones in this year'shost lineup, Xinhua reported Monday.

According to Jin, Zhu Jun, Zhou Tao, Li Yong, Dong Qing, Zhang Zequn and Liu Fangfei, who hosted last years' gala, will again appear on stage on the Lunar New Year's eve on February 17.

Jin said the timetable for this year's ceremony has almost settled, with only several programs still pending for final decision. The firstrehearsalis scheduled on February 5.

Famouscross-talkerFeng Gong has confirmed he will perform at the gala, while Guo Degang, a favorite Beijing-basedstandup comedianwho is known for promoting himself as an infamous crosstalker, may not show up. Pop diva Faye Wong is also likely to absent since she did not submit any program, Jin told Xinhua.

Different from previous years, unwarranted exposure of the scheduled programs ahead of time will result in the media taking legal responsibility, Jin warned.

The annual CCTV Spring Festival celebration, the grandest of its kind, featuring cross-talks, comic plays, singing and dancing performances, has draw widespread media attention since its debut in 1983.

The pageant, boasting an estimated audience of one billion worldwide in recent years, is viewed by many as a fast track to fame. Many celebrities and would-be stars have scrambled to appear on the stage, occasionally through under-the-table deals, making it somewhat difficult to determine the gala's cast and program list.
