China Huayi Broadcasting Corporation observations.
Based on monitoring over the past week China Huayi Broadcasting Corporation [CHBC] is observed signing-on 873kHz at 03:55UT (much later than listed here and elsewhere) with usually fair reception via a webSDR in Taichung, Taiwan. Programming, all in Mandarin, seems to alternate between two-hours blocks of either uninterrupted back-to-back Chinese soft pop or interminable [political?] monologues, with IDs few and far between.
CHBC’s 6185kHz shortwave frequency is only on for around a little over two hours a day, crash-starting from around 09:45UT (time varies between 09:30 and 09:50UT) and going off air at 12:00UT. Shortwave reception is very good via several Taiwan-based webSDRs – if upper sideband mode is deployed to mitigate QRM from the CNR1 jammer on 6180kHz – however as programming (parallel with 873kHz) in that period comprises the tail end of a monologue followed by two solid hours of soporific pop one wonders why they bother putting it on shortwave really.
The station is also on FM 107.1MHz in the station’s home city of Fuzhou but the CHBC website and its live online streaming is long gone, and the station seems to have very little web presence at all.
