This article will explore the Chinese language radio stations in the UK!
More and more Chinese students studying media are choosing to come to the UK to further their studies. This is because the UK has large media companies like the BBC and Sky, and even more so because the UK has a long history in the media industry.
However, both the BBC and Sky have a minimal number of places each year, especially for Chinese or Chinese students. However, there is no need to worry too much, as several charitable organisations across the UK broadcast in Chinese.
These stations have FM and DAB coverage throughout the UK. The content is also aimed at listeners in all regions of the country.
