# The Voice of China (radio channel)

The Voice of China (Chinese: 中央人民广播电台中国之声 or 中国之声), a.k.a. CNR-1, is the flagship radio channel of China National Radio (CNR). It provides news and commentaries and broadcast 24 hours a day (exc. BJT 2:05-4:25 on Tuesday) via AM, FM, SW and Internet.

## History

The infrastructure began with a transmitter from Moscow to set up its first station in Yan'an (延安). It used the call sign XNCR ("New China Radio") for broadcasts, and is the first radio station established by the Chinese Communist Party in 1940 during the Chinese Civil War. In the west, it was known as the Yan'an New China Radio Station (延安新华广播电台) broadcasting two hours daily. In China, it was called the Yan'an Xinhua Broadcasting Station, which was established on December 30, 1940.
On March 11, 1947, it was renamed Shanbei Xinhua Broadcasting Station (陕北新华广播电台) after it departed from Yan'an. It began to broadcast in Beiping under the name of Peiping Xinhua Broadcasting Station (北平新华广播电台) on March 25, 1949. On December 5, 1949, it was officially renamed Central People's Broadcasting Station 1st Program (中央人民广播电台第一套节目), two months after the proclamation of the People's Republic of China.
On January 1, 2004, CNR-1 was rebranded as The Voice of China.
