How we checked CNR-1 中国之声

Everything published about this station was read from the station's own website or its own stream, and every fact below names the page it came from and the year it was read. Nothing needed correcting. We also found 4 things we could have published and decided not to.

What we publish, and where each part came from

What we say	Read from	When
Description CNR-1, known in Chinese as 中国之声 or "Voice of China", is the flagship national channel of China National Radio, run by the state broadcaster China Media Group from its Beijing headquarters. It is a rolling news and current affairs service rather than a music station, built around bulletins, national news simulcasts and press round-ups, and it runs around the clock apart from a short weekly maintenance window. Programming is entirely in Mandarin Chinese and is carried nationwide on FM, medium wave and shortwave as well as online.	Wikipedia	2026
Contact route a broadcaster route, not the channel's: the site-wide footer, written in by the portal's own footer.js and repeated as a hidden block at the end of the homepage HTML, carries a news and programme-coverage hotline number and a general mailbox; the channel's own entry in the portal's national live-radio API carries only stream URLs, an image and a description with no contact field, and probes for a 中国之声 channel section all landed on the site's 404 page, as did a nonsense-path control, so no channel-published route exists on cnr.cn	央广网 CNR.cn, China National Radio portal	2026

What we corrected

Nothing. This station's entry matched what its own site says, which is worth recording: a clean check is a result, not an absence of one.

What we found and did not publish

Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.

What we could have said	Why we did not
Two full schedule tables and a presenter page naming six hosts.	The site serves two separate schedules for this one channel and they contradict each other on several slots, one still carrying branding the broadcaster retired; neither lists a programme the channel demonstrably still makes. The presenter page is a relic of around 2010, complete with blogs and forum threads. All airtimes were dropped and only the strands the channel's own current stories are tagged with survived. source
an illegal-and-harmful-information reporting telephone number in the same footer	that is a regulatory compliance line, not a way to reach the newsroom or a presenter source
links to the national 12377 reporting platform and the joint rumour-refutation platform	those are state platforms, not the broadcaster's source
the staff webmail login link in the site header	it is an internal employee mailbox login, not a listener route source

If you think something here is wrong

Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.

Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research current as at 2026.
