Haven't been in the Far East in 22 years, so I don't know how CNR, the 
Taiwanese, the Koreans
or the Japanese sound nowadays; but even now the 1062 thing just "sounds" 
like a Taiwanese.
The gal behind the mike sounds like she has a life, and maybe enjoys 
announcing.

The Mainlanders, on the other hand, always sounded so "stuffy." Following 
Party Line.

Shanghai City always has had a psychology of its own, and no matter the 
Party Line, the
people in that city always were apt to push the limits. This is borne out 
in what I
heard from the dial. Shanghai stations seemed to be the first to start 
running commercial
ads, and some of them were cute. Sounded like someone had a good time 
producing them.
Shanghai being what it is, I'll bet the station personnel who did the spots 
weren't sent
out for political reeducation.

As for the little, 1-kW commercial Taiwanese, they sounded "provincial," 
with thick
accents, mis-cues and flubs. Fun listening, just the same.

73,
