This study uses the framework theory to analyze the content of the two representative TV news magazines on the mainland's coronavirus epidemic. The study found that the two programs in the relevant reports show the five general news frameworks of economic consequences, responsibility, conflict, human feelings, and people's livelihood. Compared with Sisy's World News, CCTV News Weekly contains fewer conflicts and pays more attention to human interests and people's livelihoods. However, there is no significant difference between CCTV News Weekly and Sisy's World News in general news frameworks such as economic consequences and responsibility. At the same time, there are also significant differences in the tone of the reports presented by the programs.
