China Radio Stations

China National Radio (CNR) broadcasts Mandarin-language news, music, and drama across the country, joined by China Radio International and a large tier of provincial and municipal stations. Traffic radio is a phenomenon of Chinese urban life, among the most listened-to formats in gridlocked megacities. Regional stations broadcast in Cantonese, Shanghainese, Tibetan, Uyghur, and Mongolian alongside the dominant Mandarin, with C-pop and storytelling programs perennially popular.
