Eastern Horizon is the United Kingdom's first bilingual (Chinese and English) community radio programme broadcast to a local audience.

Transmission

It broadcasts live in Manchester on BBC Radio Manchester on 95.1 and 104.6 FM every Saturday between 12 mn and 1 am. It also broadcasts on the Internet.

The programme had its last transmission on 6 October 2018 and a campaign was set up to try to save it.

Background

Eastern Horizon is a community access programme produced by and for the Chinese Community in Greater Manchester and the North West.[1] Eastern Horizon was founded by a group of Chinese volunteers, led by David Wong. Early presenters and contributors included Osmond Lam, Michelle Chan, Roland, Soshan,[2] Yin King Chiu, Simon Jones, Philip Godber, Winnie Godber, Josephine Chan, Alice, Susanna Chiu, Joseph Wu, Sally Li[3] and Mike Dillon. Its aim is to be "a communication channel between the Chinese community and the host community".[4]

History

The programme first broadcast on 15 December 1983 as a recorded 30-minute programme once a month. It was then expanded to one hour a week. The show was one of the first in the UK to link up with Chinese radio stations around the world to produce simulcast programme.[5] The show is now called Chinatown and is transmitted every Sunday evening for two hours.

On 14 December 2008, another simulcast was conducted with Spectrum Radio in London to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of the establishment of Eastern Horizon with original crew members from the 1980s and 1990s.

Presenters

Current presenters include Juanita Yau,[6] Dee Lo[7] and Kevin Shang. Current Programme Transmission [8]

Programme content

The programme plays a range of Chinese music from Canto-Pop and Mandarin classics to Chinese Classical tunes. It covers a range of community issues and promote events and activities for the community. Police have used the programme to broadcast appeals for information in Cantonese to the Chinese community.[9]
