[HCDX] China Radio Int´l on the air in Canberra
China Radio International is now on the air in the Australian capital of
Canberra.
The launch ceremony was held on Friday evening at the Australian National
Museum. It was attended by senior officials from CRI, China's ambassador to
Australia, and members of Canberra City Council.
Carried on the frequency of FM 88, CRI Canberra will provide twelve hours of
English-language content each day. Its signals will reach some 300 thousand
people in the city and surrounding areas. In addition to news and current
affairs, it also offers entertainment such as music and celebrity
interviews. A portion of the programing will be dedicated to China's social
and economic development and cultural heritage.
Wang Gengnian, CRI President said "Just as I said in the speech, the
operation will build a bridge of communication between Chinese and
Australian peoples. It will serve the general public around the city as well
as Chinese Australians. It will send a message of friendship, greetings from
China. Through its introduction of China, it will help promote the exchanges
between the two countries in both the economic and cultural fields."
China Radio International now boasts nearly 30 bureaus across the globe and
broadcasts in 38 foreign languages. Through its partnerships with major
websites and print media across China, CRI aims to build a world-class news
service. (more in
