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 set up by the Communist Party of China in 1940.[1]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.[1] In China, it was called the Yan'an Xinhua Broadcasting Station, which was established on December 30, 1940.[2]
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 Peiping 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 establishment of the People's Republic of China. [1]
On January 1, 2004, CNR-1 was rebranded as The Voice of China.
