| CRI's domestic service has
been playing international music for China since the inception
of Easy FM in 1989. Easy FM hit the airwaves on 91.5 FM in Beijing
and listeners were instantly attracted. It aired daily with
Western DJs covering most of the day's programs with pop music
and talk.
In the following years, Easy FM has developed a unique format
of Chinese-English bilingual programs. It was as if the boldness
of western coffee and the strength of Chinese tea were being
mixed together to create one intoxicating and sweet experience!
Now the innovative bilingual style of broadcasting has already
become a distinct feature of Easy FM with which no other Chinese
radio station can compare. With their informative and interesting
talks that constantly switch smoothly between languages, hosts
of distinct personalities from different cultures give the
listeners an enjoyable experience of both Chinese and Western
flavours.
Easy FM attracts a large domestic audience with some of the
world's best pop music, while CRI English Service has established
itself as a prominent news broadcaster from China for listeners
around the world. Easy FM is the first Chinese radio channel
focusing on western pop music. Foreign DJs match up perfectly
with their Chinese colleagues to present bilingual programs
that are unique in China.
