Haven't been in the Far East in 22 years, so I don't know how CNR, the Taiwanese, the Koreans or the Japanese sound nowadays; but even now the 1062 thing just "sounds" like a Taiwanese. The gal behind the mike sounds like she has a life, and maybe enjoys announcing. The Mainlanders, on the other hand, always sounded so "stuffy." Following Party Line. Shanghai City always has had a psychology of its own, and no matter the Party Line, the people in that city always were apt to push the limits. This is borne out in what I heard from the dial. Shanghai stations seemed to be the first to start running commercial ads, and some of them were cute. Sounded like someone had a good time producing them. Shanghai being what it is, I'll bet the station personnel who did the spots weren't sent out for political reeducation. As for the little, 1-kW commercial Taiwanese, they sounded "provincial," with thick accents, mis-cues and flubs. Fun listening, just the same. 73, Charles Charles A Taylor, WD4INP Greenville, North Carolina _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
