History
CRTV was founded by a group of young Chinese graduates in May 1996. They started initially with a one-hour radio program called Chinese Radio Amsterdam (CRA) broadcast every other week through cable. The idea was to present a radio program in Chinese to inform the Chinese community about social, cultural and political issues.
Development
Today, the audience can listen to one-hour radio programs on cable, on air and on the Internet every Sunday till Friday. The subjects of the programs include news (local, national and China), education (health, legislations, finance), discussions, entertainment (show business, films, quizzes, sports), interviews, language courses, and reports, interluded by modern and classic Chinese music.
CRTV offers also television programs in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague every last Sunday. CRTV issues its own magazine and organizes talk shows about Chinese culture and society. Chinese Radio and Television cooperates with Dutch and Chinese organizations to make programs and to get or to give support. Recent examples are co-organization of the Amsterdam China Festival, promotion of Chinese films, and interviews with Chinese performers.
Chinese Radio and Television has become a communication platform between the different generations of Chinese people and between the Chinese community and Dutch society.
