Re: [IRCA] unusual programming on 1566

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I heard similar programming on Family Radio Taiwan 1557 last season.  In this case it was EE/Chinese, and I have to assume it was done for the reasons mentioned by Bill..  The English phrases were spoken considerably slower than VOA's Special English.  I found it rather painful listening, but Chinese listeners were probably grateful for it (assuming they were trying to learn English).

I have heard them to just that numerous times in Chinese, Korean, and 
Japanese.  They broadcast programs like this to capitalize on 
people's desire to learn English so they can "preach the gospel" at 
the same time.

I've heard a fair bit of EE on HLAZ in the last year or so. Sorry I didn't
write down the times, but I have a recording or two that will tell me the
times when I dig them out.

The format seems to be a few sentences (or a bit more) of EE followed by
what seems to be the same thing in another language.
