	China Cablecom Ltd. was incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on October 6, 2006.
	On April 9, 2008, China Cablecom Ltd. and Jaguar Acquisition Corporation ("Jaguar"), a special purpose acquisition company, completed a redomestication merger of Jaguar in the British Virgin Islands as China Cablecom Holdings, Ltd. (the “Company” or “China Cablecom”) and the concurrent business combination merger with China Cablecom Ltd.
	Prior to the merger with the Company, Jaguar issued 4,950,000 units (“Units”), each representing one ordinary share and two warrants.
	In accordance with the merger agreement, the following occurred with respect to the outstanding Class A Preferred stock and Ordinary shares of China Cablecom Ltd. and the ordinary shares and warrants, including those under the Units, of Jaguar:
		i)	all of the Class A preferred stock and ordinary shares of China Cablecom Ltd. were cancelled and each registered owner of outstanding preferred stock and ordinary shares of China Cablecom Ltd. automatically become the registered owner of one and 0.6842 shares of the Company, respectively
		ii)	all of the common shares of Jaguar were cancelled and each registered owner of outstanding common shares of Jaguar automatically become the registered owner of one ordinary share of the Company
		iii)	all of the outstanding warrants were assumed by the Company and became exercisable for the Company’s current shares at the original exercise price, US$ 5.00 per share.
	For financial reporting purposes, this merger transaction was recorded as a recapitalization of China Cablecom Ltd. whereby China Cablecom Ltd. is deemed to be the continuing, surviving entity for accounting purpose, but through reorganization, has deemed to have adopted the capital structure of the Company.
	China Cablecom Ltd is the sole shareholder of China Cablecom Company Limited (“HK Cablecom”) incorporated in Hong Kong on May 22, 2007.
	HK Cablecom owns 100% of Heze Cablecom Network Technology Co., Ltd ("HZNT") incorporated under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) on October 9, 2007.
	The Company, through HK Cablecom and HZNT, entered into a series of contractual arrangement with Jinan Youxiantong Network Technology Co. Ltd ("JYNT") and its shareholders.

		l	Loan Agreements: pursuant to loan agreements dated June 30, 2007, HK Cablecom extended loans of RMB484,500 and RMB25,500 respectively to Pu Yue and Liang Yuejing.

Pu Yue and Liang Yuejing may only repay the loan by transferring their equity interests in JYNT to HK Cablecom or HK Cablecom’s designees within 5 business days.
		l	Exclusive Service Agreements: pursuant to exclusive service agreements between JYNT and HZNT, JYNT engages HZNT to be its sole and exclusive provider of management, consulting, training and technical services. Service fees are to be paid monthly by JYNT to HZNT in an amount equal to JYNT’s net profits minus the profit to be retained by JYNT as determined by a reputable CPA agreed to by both parties. The exclusive service agreements shall continue indefinitely unless terminated by HZNT with 30 days’ prior written notice or by a non-breaching party after the breaching party has not rectified the breach for within 30 days of its receipt of notice from the non-breaching party.
		l	Equity Option Agreements: pursuant to equity option agreements dated July 20, 2007, the shareholders of JYNT have granted HZNT an exclusive and irrevocable option to purchase all or part of their equity interests in JYNT at any time. The option may only be terminated by mutual consent or at the direction of HZNT. HZNT may exercise this option at any time until it has acquired all equity interests of JYNT and it can set off the purchase price against the loan repayment under the loan agreements. The shareholders of JYNT covenant that they will not approve any plan by JYNT to distribute dividends or otherwise seek to influence JYNT’s management, and must approve any action requested by HZNT in writing to the extent permitted by law.
		l	Equity Pledge Agreements: pursuant to equity pledge agreements entered into between HZNT and each of Pu Yue and Liang Yuejing, respectively, dated July 20, 2007, Pu Yue and Liang Yuejing pledge their entire equity interests in JYNT to guarantee JYNT’s payment obligation under the exclusive service agreement between JYNT and HZNT, and the loan agreement, and their performance of their own obligations under the Option Agreement. HZNT is entitled to (i) collect dividends and other distributions, if any, arising from the pledged equity interests; and (ii) in an event of default, freely sell the pledged equity interests and collect the proceeds therefrom. Without HZNT’s consent, the shareholders of JYNT may not (i) transfer or pledge their equity interests in JYNT, (ii) receive any dividends, loan interest or other benefits from JYNT, or (iii) make any material adjustment or change to JYNT’s business or operations.
		l	Power of Attorney: pursuant to a power of attorney signed by Pu Yue and Liang Yuejing, Pu Yue and Liang Yuejing appointed HK Cablecom’s designee as their attorneys-in-fact to exercise all voting rights as shareholders of JYNT, including the ability to vote as a shareholder of JYNT, sell or transfer their equity interest in JYNT and designate and appoint the directors, general manager, chief financial officer and other senior officers of JYNT. This power of attorney is effective until the earlier of 2027 or the termination of the loan agreement between HK Cablecom and the two nominee shareholders.
	On October 1, 2007, JYNT entered into an operating partnership through a joint venture with its partner Binzhou SOE, called Binzhou Broadcasting and Television Information Network Co., Ltd (“Binzhou Broadcasting). Binzhou SOE agreed to contribute all of the inventory and property, plant and equipment of Binzhou PRC along with all of their cable business operations in the PRC in exchange for a 51% equity interest in Binzhou Broadcasting. JYNT agreed to acquire the remaining 49% equity interest in Binzhou Broadcasting, as well as receive 11% of the economic benefits in Binzhou Broadcasting, through an exclusive service agreement, for total consideration of approximately $30 million. JYNT had only contributed $14 million to Binzhou Broadcasting and there was a further capital contribution of $16 million had been due but not yet settled. This exclusive service agreement provides marketing, strategic consulting and technical support and services for 11% of the net profits of Binzhou Broadcasting.
	In addition, in accordance with the operating partnership and other agreements (“Framework Agreement”) between JYNT and Binzhou SOE, JYNT was given the ability to control certain aspects of the financing and management of Binzhou Broadcasting. JYNT has a veto right regarding the appointment of the general manager of Binzhou Broadcasting, the right to appoint the chief financial officer of Binzhou Broadcasting and an obligation to provide continued financial resources for investment and capital expenditures for the future expansion of the Binzhou Broadcasting’s operations. The result of these rights and obligations given to JYNT is that China Cablecom and JYNT have the ability to substantially influence the joint venture’s daily operations and financial affairs, appoint their senior executives and approve all matters requiring shareholder vote.
	The contractual arrangements between JYNT and Binzhou Broadcasting have an initial term of 20 years. The parties may mutually seek to extend these agreements upon the expiration of the current term. China Cablecom is not aware of any legal impediments that may affect the renewal of these agreements under current PRC laws. In order for China Cablecom to continue to derive the economic benefits from its joint venture interest in the operation of Binzhou Broadcasting, it must renew these contractual agreements.
	During the year ended December 31, 2011, Binzhou SOE charged a penalty of $754,979 (RMB5,000,000) against JYNT for the failure of settlement of further capital contribution of $16 million in accordance with the “Amendment Framework Agreement”. As a result, the economic benefit percentage of JYNT and Binzhou SOE in Binzhou Broadcasting was proportionally adjusted to reflect the actual fund provided and the deduction of penalty. The parties are currently negotiating the existence and continued operations of Binzhou Broadcasting and the extent of the continued obligations of JYNT.
	In late 2010, the Government of Shandong Province made an announcement for the consolidation of its provincial cable assets in Shandong Province. In accordance with “Lu Ban Fa” (2010) No.18, the Province will create a new company namely “Shandong Broadcasting and Television Network Co., Ltd.” and required all the cable network companies in Shandong Province to transfer all its assets and revenue to Shandong Broadcasting and Television Network Co., Ltd. Under this government policy, Binzhou Broadcasting was also required to transfer all its assets and revenue to the new company with effective from September 16, 2011. The business operation of Binzhou Broadcasting was suspended effective September 16, 2011. All the contractual agreement and the exclusive services agreement made between JYNT, Binzhou SOE and Binzhou Broadcasting were effectively terminated accordingly. The Company believes a settlement can be reached with Binzhou SOE and/or Shandong Broadcasting and Television Network Co., Ltd. to receive a compensation for its investment. However, the settlement of such compensation was uncertain at the reporting date. Therefore, the management decided to make a full provision on its investment cost and loan advances, totalling $9,806,150.
	On June 16, 2008, the Company announced the phase one acquisition of Hubei Chutian Video Communication Network Co., Ltd (“Hubei Chutian”) through a contractual and joint venture agreement similar to that used in the acquisition of Binzhou network. The Company, through JYNT, acquired a 49% equity interest in Hubei Chutian, as well as received 11% of the economic benefits in Hubei Chutian, through an exclusive technical services agreement, for total consideration of approximately $60.4 million. This exclusive technical services agreement provides marketing, strategic consulting and technical support and services for 11% of the net profits of Hubei Chutian.
	On October 1, 2009, the Company, through JYNT, revised the Hubei Framework Agreement and the terms of technical service agreement with Hubei SOE. JYNT changed the service charge for providing marketing, strategic consulting and technical support and service from 11% to 6% of the net profits of Hubei Chutian. The total consideration was changed to approximately $55.6 million.
	Besides, Hubei Chutian guaranteed to pay a 8% minimum rate of return on investment to JYNT if the return from service charge together with the share of 49% equity interest of Hubei Chutian was less than that minimum rate. The guarantee return was treated as management fee income received by JYNT.
	In addition, in accordance with the operating partnership and other agreements (“Framework Agreement”) between JYNT and Hubei SOE, JYNT was given the ability to control certain aspects of the financing and management of Hubei Chutian. JYNT has a veto right regarding the appointment of the general manager of Hubei Chutian, the right to appoint the chief financial officer of Hubei Chutian and an obligation to provide continued financial resources for investment and capital expenditures for the future expansion of the Hubei Chutian’s operations. The result of these rights and obligations given to JYNT is that China Cablecom and JYNT have the ability to substantially influence the joint venture’s daily operations and financial affairs, appoint their senior executives and approve all matters requiring shareholder vote.
	The term of this technical services agreement is 30 years. JYNT and Hubei Chutian may mutually seek to extend this agreement upon the expiry of the current term, China Cablecom is not aware of any legal impediments that may affect the renewal of this agreement under current PRC laws. In order for China Cablecom to continue to derive the economic benefits from its joint venture interest in the operation of Binzhou Broadcasting, it must renew these contractual agreements.
	On October 20, 2011, JYNT was approached by the joint venture partner, Hubei SOE, regarding the purchase of the assets and equity interest in Hubei Chutian.

	The consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, include the financial statements of China Cablecom Holdings, Ltd., and its wholly owned or controlled subsidiaries and its consolidated variable interest entities as listed above. A consolidated variable interest entity is a variable interest entity of which the Company is the primary beneficiary under FASB ASC 810-10. All significant inter-company transactions and balances between the Company, its subsidiaries and VIEs are eliminated upon consolidation. The Company has included the results of operations of its subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities from the dates of acquisition.
	The Company, its subsidiaries and VIEs referenced above are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Company”.
	As of December 31, 2012, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the following entities.
			Place of		Attributable		Direct/ Indirect
	Name of Company		incorporation		equity interest		controlling interest
	China Cablecom Ltd		British Virgin Islands		100%		Direct
	China Cablecom Company Limited		Hong Kong		100%		Indirect
	Heze Cablecom Network Technology Co., Ltd		PRC		100%		Indirect
	Jinan Youxiantong Network Technology Co., Ltd		PRC		*		Indirect
	* The Company has indirect controlling interest of Jinan Youxiantong Network Technology Co., Ltd under the contractual arrangement.
	VIEs are entities that lack one or more voting interest entity characteristics. The Company consolidates VIEs in which it is the primary beneficiary of its economic gains or losses. The FASB has issued FASB ASC 810-10, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, regarding certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. It separates entities into two groups: (1) those for which voting interests are used to determine consolidation and (2) those for which variable interests are used to determine consolidation. FASB ASC 810-10 clarifies how to identify a variable interest entity and how to determine when a business enterprise should include the assets, liabilities, non-controlling (“minority”) interests and results of activities of a variable interest entity in its consolidated financial statements.
	In accordance with FASB ASC 810-10, China Cablecom has evaluated its economic relationships with JYNT and has determined that it is required to consolidate JYNT. Therefore JYNT is considered to be a VIE, as defined by FASB ASC 810-10, of which China Cablecom is the primary beneficiary. China Cablecom, as mentioned above, absorbs a majority of the economic risks and rewards of the VIE that is being consolidated in the accompanying financial statements.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	'
	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and deposits in banks. As of December 31, 2012, most of total cash and cash equivalents were denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”) with its deposits placed with banks in the PRC. This cash is not freely convertible into foreign currencies and the remittance of these funds out of the PRC is subject to exchange control restrictions imposed by the PRC government. The remaining balance of cash and cash equivalents were denominated in US dollars and deposits in banks with reputable financial institutions in the United States.
	Deferred Financing Costs
	Deferred financing costs related to the Company’s Senior Secured Note are being amortized over the life of the notes payable of 6 years. Upon the fully repayment of Senior Secured Note, all deferred financing costs have been expensed this year.
	Amortization for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $1,300,671, $343,272 and $343,272, respectively. Indirect costs of financing activities are expensed as incurred.
	Valuation of Long-lived Assets
	The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events and circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flows from such asset is less than its carrying value. In that event, an impairment loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost to dispose.
	Fair value of financial instruments
	FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
	Level 1	-	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	Level 2	-	Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
	Level 3	-	Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
	The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, and other current liabilities, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments and market rates of interest.
	Property, Plant and Equipment
	Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Additions and improvements to property and equipment accounts are recorded at cost. Maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are charged directly to expense as incurred. Major additions and betterments to property and equipment accounts are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives less residual value.
	Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets: -
			Years
	Furniture, fixtures and office equipments		5
	Motor vehicles		10-Apr
	Building improvements		20-40
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	The financial statements include some amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. The most significant estimates relate to useful lives for depreciation and amortization, deferred tax provisions and valuation allowances, purchase price allocations, contingencies. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available to the Company and any adjustment could be significant to the accompanying financial statements.
	The determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE based on whether the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significant impact the economic performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE. It require the Company to make an ongoing assessment of the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The Company may require to deconsolidate certain VIE when there is information indicate that the Company lost the primary beneficiary to a VIE.
	Comprehensive Income
	The Company has adopted FASB ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”. This statement establishes rules for the reporting of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income consists of net income and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income and the Consolidated Statements of Equity.
	Income Taxes
	The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740 "Income Taxes". Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be effective when the differences are expected to reverse.
	Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of income in the period that includes the enactment date.
	FASB ASC Topic 740 prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in the tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures.
	Foreign Currency Translation
	China Cablecom Holdings, Ltd.’s functional currency is the US dollar. The Company’s subsidiaries and VIEs determine their functional currencies based on the criteria of FASB ASC 830 Foreign Currency Translation and have determined their functional currency to be their respective local currency. The Company uses the average exchange rate for the period and the exchange rate at the balance sheet date to translate its operating results and financial position, respectively. Any translation gains (losses) are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of shareholders’ equity. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of income.
	Translation of amounts from RMB into United States dollars (“US$”) has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:
	31-Dec-12
	Balance sheet		RMB6.2855 to US$1.00
	Statement of operations and comprehensive loss		RMB6.2932 to US$1.00
	31-Dec-11
	Balance sheet		RMB6.3009 to US$1.00
	Statement of operations and comprehensive loss		RMB6.4618 to US$1.00
	31-Dec-10
	Balance sheet		RMB6.6227 to US$1.00
	Statement of operations and comprehensive loss		RMB6.7256 to US$1.00
	Basic Income/Loss Per Ordinary Share
	The computation of income/loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period presented in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share”. At December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, due to net losses the Company’s share equivalents were anti-dilutive and excluded in the loss per share computations.
	Revenue recognition
	The principal activity of the Company was previously the joint venture operation of two cable television networks in China: Binzhou Broadcasting and Television Information Network Co., Ltd and Hubei Chutian Video Communication Network Co., Ltd.
	The Company recognizes revenue based on the following:
	Management fee income – The management fee income was received from Hubei Chutian in accordance with the Exclusive Services Agreement signed between JYNT and Hubei Chutian.  JYNT was the sole service provider of Hubei Chutian and provides the services of marketing, strategic consulting and technical support. The Company recognizes the management fee income when the right to receive payment is established in accordance with the services agreement.
	Stock-Based Compensation
	The Company awards stock options and other equity-based instruments to its employees and directors (collectively “share-based payments”).  Compensation cost related to such awards is measured based on the fair value of the instrument on the grant date and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which generally equals the vesting period.  All of the Company’s stock-based compensation is based on grants of equity instruments and no liability awards have been granted.
	Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
	The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

	4. Stock Based Compensation
	In April 2008, the Company adopted the China Cablecom Holdings, Ltd. 2007 Omnibus Securities and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which provides for the grant of up to 3,333,333 shares option for the benefit of its directors, officers and employees. The Company granted 1,350,000 share options and 1,460,000 share options on October 9, 2009 and December 20, 2009, respectively, to its directors, officers and employees under the plan. These shares options are exercisable at $2.34 and $1.83 per share, respectively, and may be exercised by the optionee no later than the tenth anniversary of the date of option agreement. As of December 31, 2012, 2,810,000 options have been issued under the plan in which 523,333 options remain available to be issued and 160,000 options was cancelled.
	The Company accounts for its stock option awards pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC 718, “Stock Compensation”. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Company recognizes the fair value of each option as compensation expense ratably using the straight-line attribution method over the service period, which is generally the vesting period.
	The Black-Scholes model incorporates the following assumptions:
	⋅	Expected volatility - the Company estimates the volatility of common stock at the date of grant using historical volatility.
	⋅	Expected term - the Company estimates the expected term of options granted based on a combination of vesting schedules, term of the option and historical experience.
	⋅	Risk-free interest rate - the Company estimates the risk-free interest rate using the U.S. Treasury yield curve for periods equal to the expected term of the options in effect at the time of grant.
	⋅	Dividends - the Company uses an expected dividend yield of zero. The Company intends to retain any earnings to fund future operations and, therefore, does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
	The fair value of the total options granted in the year measured as at the date of grant on October 9, 2009 was $2,727,755 and December 20, 2009 was $2,260,874. The following table outlines the variables used to derive the fair value using in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model:

	Binzhou Broadcasting and Television Information Network Co., Ltd
	On October 1, 2007, the Company through JYNT entered into a joint venture partnership with its partner Binzhou SOE and formed Binzhou Broadcasting and Television Information Network Co., Ltd. (“Binzhou Broadcasting”) and agreed to acquire 49% equity interest in Binzhou Broadcasting. The principal activity of Binzhou Broadcasting is provision of cable network services. Up to the reporting date, JYNT had only contributed $14 million to Binzhou Broadcasting and there was a further capital contribution of $16 million had been due but not yet settled.
	During the year ended December 31, 2011, Binzhou SOE charged a penalty of $754,979 (RMB5,000,000) against JYNT for the failure of settlement of further capital contribution of $16 million in accordance with the “Amendment Framework Agreement”. As a result, the economic benefit percentage of JYNT and Binzhou SOE in Binzhou Broadcasting will be proportionally adjusted to reflect the actual fund provided and the deduction of penalty. Meanwhile, both parties shall negotiate the existence and continued operation of the Binzhou Broadcasting triggered such failure of the obligation of JYNT.
	In late 2010, the Government of Shandong Province made an announcement for the consolidation of its provincial cable assets in Shandong Province. In accordance with “Lu Ban Fa” (2010) No.18, the Province will create a new company namely “Shandong Broadcasting and Television Network Co., Ltd.” and required all the cable network companies in Shandong Province to transfer all its assets and revenue to Shandong Broadcasting and Television Network Co., Ltd. Under this government policy, Binzhou Broadcasting is also required to transfer all its assets and revenue to the new company with effective from September 16, 2011. The business operation of Binzhou Broadcasting was suspended since then. All the contractual agreement and the exclusive services agreement made between JYNT, Binzhou SOE and Binzhou Broadcasting were effectively terminated accordingly. The Company is still in the process of negotiation on the compensation of its investments in Binzhou Broadcasting with its joint venture partner, Binzhou SOE. However, the business operation has been transferred to Shandong Broadcasting and Television Network Co., Ltd. since September 16, 2011 although Binzhou Broadcasting still holds all the operating assets.
	The Company believes a settlement can be reached with Binzhou SOE and/or Shandong Broadcasting and Television Network Co., Ltd. to receive a compensation for its investment which will be more than its carrying value. However, the settlement of such compensation was uncertain at the reporting date. Therefore, the management decided to make a full provision on its investment cost and loan advances, totalling $9,806,150.
	Hubei Chutian Video Communication Network Co., Ltd
	On June 16, 2008, the Company through JYNT entered into a joint venture partnership with its partner Hubei SOE and formed Hubei Chutian Video Communication Network Co., Ltd. (‘Hubei Chutian”) and agreed to acquire 49% equity interest in Hubei Chutian.

	In September 2007, China Cablecom Ltd. issued an aggregate of $19.99 million in promissory notes and 766,680 shares of Class A preferred stock to 10 investors in exchange for proceeds of approximately $20 million (the “Bridge Financing”). Each share of Class A preferred stock was converted into one share of the Company’s ordinary shares in April 2008.  The proceeds from the Bridge Financing were used to fund the acquisition price of Binzhou Broadcasting (Note 4) and for working capital purposes. The promissory notes bear interest at a stated interest rate of 10% and are collateralized by a pledge of approximately 650,000 ordinary shares of the Company, held by the Company’s Chairman. The Company allocated the proceeds based on the relative fair value of the promissory notes and the Class A preferred stock, the resulting discount on the promissory notes is being amortized using the effective interest method to interest expense over the term of the promissory notes. For the year ended December 31, 2008 approximately $2,383,000 was amortized and charged to interest expense. In addition, the interest expense on these promissory notes approximated $1,359,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008, resulting in total interest expense of approximately $3,742,000. Upon the merger between China Cablecom Ltd. and Jaguar, 50% of the promissory notes plus accrued interest was repaid in April 2008. The remaining balance of the promissory notes plus accrued interest was due in April 2009.
	Due to the default in payment of both principal and interest of promissory notes in April 2009, the Company negotiated with the promissory note holders and completed the debt restructure in October 2009. In connection with the debt restructure, the Company entered into a waiver agreement with the consent from all the promissory note holders on October 9, 2009. The Company issued $5.5 million in Unsecured Notes due October 8, 2015 bearing a fixed interest rate of 5% per annum along with 15,397,204 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares to the note holders in settlement of approximately $11 million in current debt and accrued interest obligations. Each Series A Convertible Preferred Share may be converted, at the option of the shareholder, into one ordinary share.
	The debt restructure reduced the overall principal amount of its long-term debt obligations and eliminated cash interest obligations on the new debt securities issued. Under the debt restructure, the difference between carrying amount of the notes payable and the fair value of the equity instruments issued together with the new Notes issued are accounted for as debt extinguishments resulting in a loss of $5,658,140, which was recognized in the Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2009.
	The debt restructure strengthens the Company's balance sheet by reducing the overall principal amount of its long-term debt obligations and eliminating cash interest obligations on the new debt securities issued.
	On April 1, 2011, China Cablecom Ltd. issued $27,500 promissory notes bearing interest rate of 8% per annum to promissory note holder. The note was repayable on demand. In the event of default, interest on amounts past due shall be paid at an interest rate of 12% per annum.

	12. Convertible notes
	On May 9, 2008, China Cablecom Holdings, Ltd. issued convertible notes with a principal (“face”) value of $43,175,000, along with 1,524,994 shares of ordinary shares (labeled “incentive shares” in the agreement) to several investors. The gross proceeds of this transaction were $30,000,000 (“purchase price”), consisting of $25,793,283 cash and $4,206,717 from the cancellation of the principal amount and accrued interest of promissory notes issued by China Cablecom Ltd. in September 2007.
	Interest on the convertible notes is due at maturity at 9.99% per annum. The interest through maturity has been prepaid and is equal to the difference between the face value of the convertible notes and the gross proceeds. In substance, the note is a zero coupon note (except for the shares to be issued as described in the next paragraph) with a maturity value of $43,175,000 issued for $30,000,000 with a $13,175,000 discount. The convertible notes mature on May 9, 2011 at which point the face value of the notes are due. The notes are convertible, at the holders’ option, into the Company’s ordinary shares, which have a par value of $0.0005 per share, at a per share conversion price of $9.5.
	If there is a principal amount outstanding on the tenth business day following the first anniversary of the closing date of the convertible notes, the Company will issue to the holders of the convertible notes additional incentive shares of up to 124,994 shares, in proportion to the initial principal amount. An additional pro-rata portion of up to 299,997 incentive shares will be issued by the Company to the holders if a principal amount remains outstanding on the tenth business day following the second anniversary of the closing date.
	Through May 9, 2009, the Company has the right, subject to certain conditions, to redeem the convertible notes for 78.75% of the outstanding principal amount being redeemed. After May 9, 2009, the Company can redeem the convertible notes for 100% of the purchase price being redeemed and imputed interest on the purchase price being redeemed.
	In total, $9,683,712 of the $30,000,000 gross proceeds was allocated to the incentive shares and added to the discount on the convertible notes that had been created by the prepaid interest, resulting in $20,316,288 as the net balance originally recorded for the convertible notes.
	The convertible feature creates an intrinsic value as a result of the fair value of the ordinary shares from the assumed conversion of the notes being greater than the allocated value of the convertible notes as of the issuance date.  Such feature is normally characterized as a “beneficial conversion feature” (“BCF”). Pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratio” and EITF No. 00-27, “Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”, the intrinsic value of the embedded BCF of $8,542,791 is recorded as additional debt discount from the face amount of the convertible notes on May 9, 2008, increasing the total discount on the debt to $31,401,503 for a net $11,773,497 payable recorded for the convertible notes. In the period May 9, 2008 to December 31, 2008, $4,910,547 of the discount was amortized to interest expense on the effective interest method, resulting in a remaining discount of $26,490,956 and net convertible notes principal of $16,684,044. The amortization is calculated on the assumption that the additional shares will be issued at the May 9, 2008 per share value. Amortization will be adjusted prospectively if the actual values on the issuance dates differ from the May 9, 2008 per share value and the actual number of shares issue is different.
	As part of the transaction, cash of 7% of the cash portion of the purchase price was paid as broker’s fee and $150,000 paid as due diligence fee. In addition, on the first and second anniversaries of the closing date, up to $150,000 and $200,000 will be paid as an additional due diligence fee and will be recorded as deferred financing cost when the fee is due. The amount of the due diligence fee payable in connection with the first and second anniversaries of the closing date, will be paid in the same proportion as the amount of principal amount outstanding on each such anniversary date compared to the original principal amount.
	Issuance costs totalled $1,868,960, of which $603,282 was allocated to the incentive shares and recorded as a reduction of paid-in capital. $1,265,678 was recorded as deferred financing costs and is being amortized over the three-year term of the convertible notes using the effective interest method. The amortization is calculated on the assumption that the additional due diligence fees will be paid on the first and second anniversaries. In the period May 9, 2008 to December 31, 2008, amortization expense was $232,663, resulting in unamortized deferred financing costs of $1,033,015 as of December 31, 2008.
	Due to the default in payment of both principal and interest of promissory notes in April 2009, the Company negotiated with the convertible note holders and completed the debt restructure in October 2009. The Company also entered into a waiver agreement with the consent from all the convertible note holders. The Company issued $18 million Secured Notes due October 8, 2016 bearing fixed interest rate of 5% per annum along with 50,402,082 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares to the note holders in settlement of approximately $23 million in current debt obligations. Each Series A Convertible Preferred Share may be converted, at the option of the shareholder, into one ordinary share.
	The debt restructure reduced the overall principal amount of its long-term debt obligations and eliminated cash interest obligations on the new debt securities issued. Under the debt restructure, the difference between carrying amount of convertible notes and the fair value of the equity instruments issued together with the new Notes issued are accounted for as debt extinguishments resulting in a loss of $34,005,326, which was recognized in the Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2009.

	Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
	If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

	All of the Company equity investments are operating in the PRC. Such investments are subject to various political, economic, and other risks and uncertainties inherent in the PRC. Among other risks, the Company’s investments are subject to the risks of restrictions on transfer of funds; changing taxation policies; foreign exchange restrictions; and political conditions and governmental regulations.
	Concentration of income from operating joint ventures
	All of the income of the Company is generated from the provision of management services to joint ventures. Any disposal of joint ventures’ operations will have significant impact on the income of the Company.
	Restrictions on transfer of assets out of the PRC
	Dividend payments by the Company are limited by certain statutory regulations in the PRC. The Company shall not pay any dividend without receiving first prior approval from the Foreign Currency Exchange Management Bureau. Dividend payments are restricted to 85% of profits, after tax.
	Foreign exchange risk
	Substantially all of the Company’s businesses are transacted in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. On January 1, 1994, the PRC government abolished the dual rate system and introduced a single rate of exchange as quoted daily by the People’s Bank of China. However, the unification of the exchange rates does not imply the convertibility of RMB into US$ or other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the People’s Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China. Approval of foreign currency payments by the People’s Bank of China or other institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts.
	Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (VIE)
	The consolidation of JYNT is based on the assumption that China Cablecom is the primary beneficiary of the VIE and can exercise the power to direct the activities that most significant impact the economic performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE. Any failure to obtain the control will cause China Cablecom lost the economic benefit in the VIE and may require to deconsolidate the VIE that the Company currently consolidated. The impact will be applied retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of first year restated, or through a cumulative-effect adjustment on the date of applied.

	Dec. 31, 2012
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and deposits in banks. As of December 31, 2012, most of total cash and cash equivalents were denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”) with its deposits placed with banks in the PRC. This cash is not freely convertible into foreign currencies and the remittance of these funds out of the PRC is subject to exchange control restrictions imposed by the PRC government. The remaining balance of cash and cash equivalents were denominated in US dollars and deposits in banks with reputable financial institutions in the United States.
Deferred Charges, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Deferred Financing Costs
	Deferred financing costs related to the Company’s Senior Secured Note are being amortized over the life of the notes payable of 6 years. Upon the fully repayment of Senior Secured Note, all deferred financing costs have been expensed this year.
	Amortization for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $1,300,671, $343,272 and $343,272, respectively. Indirect costs of financing activities are expensed as incurred.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Valuation of Long-lived Assets
	The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events and circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flows from such asset is less than its carrying value. In that event, an impairment loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost to dispose.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Fair value of financial instruments
	FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
	Level 1	-	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	Level 2	-	Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
	Level 3	-	Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
	The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, and other current liabilities, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments and market rates of interest.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Property, Plant and Equipment
	Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Additions and improvements to property and equipment accounts are recorded at cost. Maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are charged directly to expense as incurred. Major additions and betterments to property and equipment accounts are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives less residual value.
	Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets: -
			Years
	Furniture, fixtures and office equipments		5
	Motor vehicles		10-Apr
	Building improvements		20-40
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	The financial statements include some amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. The most significant estimates relate to useful lives for depreciation and amortization, deferred tax provisions and valuation allowances, purchase price allocations, contingencies. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available to the Company and any adjustment could be significant to the accompanying financial statements.
	The determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE based on whether the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significant impact the economic performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE. It require the Company to make an ongoing assessment of the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The Company may require to deconsolidate certain VIE when there is information indicate that the Company lost the primary beneficiary to a VIE.
Comprehensive Income, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Comprehensive Income
	The Company has adopted FASB ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”. This statement establishes rules for the reporting of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income consists of net income and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income and the Consolidated Statements of Equity.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Income Taxes
	The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740 "Income Taxes". Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be effective when the differences are expected to reverse.
	Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of income in the period that includes the enactment date.
	FASB ASC Topic 740 prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in the tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
