Chinese Radio & TV (CRTV)
Chinese Radio and Television (CRTV) is an organisation operated by a group of enthusiastic volunteers in the Netherlands. CRTV started with a biweekly one hour radio program and has been developed to one of the biggest crossmedia platforms in Europe. CRTV offers a wide range of programs and activities: radio, television, website, events and editorship. In order to reach a wide range of audience, CRTV covers its broadcasts in three different languages: Cantonese, Mandarin and Dutch. The audience(s) of CRTV are a.o.: Chinese immigrants from mainland China and Hong Kong, The next generation of Dutch born Chinese, Students from China, Dutch people interested in Chinese culture.

History
CRTV started initially only with radio and it was called Chinese Radio Amsterdam (CRA). CRA was founded by a group of young Chinese graduates in the spring of 1996. The initial idea was to start a radio program in Chinese to inform the Chinese community about social, cultural and political issues. The first radio program started in May 1996, a one hour program broadcasted every other week through cable.

Development
Today, the audience can listen to one hour radio programs on cable, on air and on internet every Sunday till Friday. The subjects of the programs contain news (local, national and China), education (health, legislations, finance), discussions, entertainment (showbizz, films, quizzes, sport), interviews, language courses and reports interluded by modern and classic Chinese music.

Next to the radio programs, CRTV offers also television programs on Salto A1 every last Sunday of the month. Chinese Radio and Television cooperates often with many different Dutch and Chinese organisations to make programs and to get or to give support. Recent examples of co-operations are co-organisation of the Amsterdam China Festival, promotion of Chinese films, and interviews with many Chinese performers. Chinese Radio and Television has become a communication platform between the different generations of Chinese people and between the Chinese community and the Dutch society.
