roddy Posted July 10, 2004 at 02:21 AM Report Posted July 10, 2004 at 02:21 AM I just happened to find a Minnanhua broadcast on CCTV4. This is the first time I've heard anything other than mandarin on national TV here. Are there any other similar programs? Roddy Quote
pazu Posted July 10, 2004 at 12:39 PM Report Posted July 10, 2004 at 12:39 PM I think 中央人民廣播電台 has a Cantonese channel in shortwave, but the program was boring and dull. Quote
Quest Posted July 11, 2004 at 07:07 PM Report Posted July 11, 2004 at 07:07 PM Are there any other similar programs? not on cctv4, they just want to show the Taiwanese that the mainland speaks their dialect. Quote
berylchan Posted July 16, 2004 at 09:35 AM Report Posted July 16, 2004 at 09:35 AM And the English program, CCTV 9 (or CCTV 12, not sure). Quote
geraldc Posted July 16, 2004 at 04:11 PM Report Posted July 16, 2004 at 04:11 PM In the UK after midnight CCTV 9 suddenly starts broadcasting one stereo channel in English, and the other stereo channel in Spanish. Nothing focuses your mind on reading chinese subtitles like watching a Chinese news report dubbed into Spanish when you don't speak Spanish. Quote
Yuchi Posted July 18, 2004 at 09:31 PM Report Posted July 18, 2004 at 09:31 PM I thought CCTV 9 was always in english? Yes I found it odd that cctv 4 had a different dialect on too, I thought I had gone crazy that day. =/ Quote
shibo77 Posted July 18, 2004 at 10:05 PM Report Posted July 18, 2004 at 10:05 PM CCTV-9 is called the "English Channel", but it actually operates in other languages to other non-English speaking countries. They have a French version, Japanese version, German version, Arabic version, Spanish version... -Shibo Quote
39degN Posted July 24, 2004 at 02:34 PM Report Posted July 24, 2004 at 02:34 PM china radio international has programs in 43 languages. http://www.cri.com.cn/ but it's radio, not TV. Quote
