Xinhua Finance Launches Japanese Financial News Radio Show on RADIO NIKKEI Network

TOKYO, March 31 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Xinhua Finance (TSE Mothers: 9399), China's premier financial services and media company, today announced that it will launch a weekly financial news radio show in Japanese on the prestigious Nikkei Radio Broadcasting Corporation (RADIO NIKKEI) network on April 3.

The 30-minute program, to be called "Xinhua Finance Information" and broadcast Sunday mornings at 9am with re-broadcast each Monday at 6:30am, will feature the latest financial news and commentary on China business as well as interviews with top China and Japanese business people on the situation in the China markets.

The news and commentary to be included in the show will be provided by Xinhua Finance's Finance News, Credit Ratings and Index Divisions. Xinhua Finance News has more than 150 financial journalists and analysts in China and across the world.

The show will be hosted by Professor You Senei of Tokai University, a respected commentator and journalist.

RADIO NIKKEI is a popular radio station in Japan, operated by the Nihon Keizai Shimbun (Nikkei) Group, with very high listener ratings amongst Japanese retail investors. The Xinhua Finance show will be broadcast over four media: 1st Channel of RADIO NIKKEI (Shortwave service), the RADIO NIKKEI channel by BS broadcasting service, on-demand basis through the RADIO NIKKEI website and the mobile satellite network, "MobaHO!"

Xinhua Finance CEO Fredy Bush said she is delighted to expand Xinhua Finance's cooperation with the Nikkei Group through the medium of radio.

"This program provides us with an opportunity to explain developments in China's fast-moving financial markets more fully to Japanese investors," Ms Bush said. "The program is also in line with Xinhua Finance's plans to move into the financial media space over the next year."

"It makes sense for Xinhua Finance to move into the media space, in order to leverage our products and services onto new platforms," Ms Bush added.
