The Voice of China will never be heard again

Dear users, we are very sorry to tell you that since you read this article, after our products, we will no longer be able to preset 22 central radio stations such as "Voice of China" for you, we also know that many users are loyal listeners of CCTV, so we have designed the function of "users add their own stations", you can add the radio stations you want to listen to by yourself through this function.

The Voice of China will never be heard again

Some friends may ask, will the machine I bought before be upgraded to add the function of "adding a radio station"? I'm very sorry, I won't upgrade the old machine, because we have already paid for the previous machine, and if you upgrade, it will cause the machine shipped before to not listen to the central radio station, so if you want to add the function of the radio station yourself, you have to buy a new machine.

The reason why we can no longer preset the central station is that the cloud listening has opened a sky-high copyright fee for us, which has increased nearly 8 times compared to last year's price, because the cloud listening has mastered the exclusive copyright of the central station, we can not find an alternative resource party, so we can only give up the program of the preset central station when the machine leaves the factory.

Another reason for not renewing the contract is that if we grit our teeth and pay the copyright fee again this year, will Yunting increase the copyright fee by 10 times or 100 times next year?

In June last year, when all the network platforms were removed from the central station, we quickly reached a cooperation with cloud listening, and purchased the copyright of 22 central stations at a price that was not cheap, (due to the contract, the copyright fee cannot be disclosed), we did this at the time, partly to make the machine sell better, but the bigger reason is to make the user's experience better, and users can easily listen to their favorite programs.

For users who are not used to listening to programs with apps, our radio is also a channel for them to listen to the central sound.

Unfortunately, after this year's frighteningly high royalties, our desire to "make it user-friendly" ultimately came to naught.

On September 14 this year, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television issued a notice requesting that the "Voice of China" radio program of China Central Radio and Television be given priority to be provided to the public free of charge as a source of public service programs.
