# Voice of America adds Hokkien-language programs: 美國之音增播閩南語節目 (Chinese poster distributed in Taipei)

A Chinese-language poster announcing additional Voice of America programs in the Southern Min (Hokkien) dialect, with a daily 6:00 to 6:30 p.m. schedule and shortwave and mediumwave frequencies. A cartoon line of men, women and a child in varied dress walks toward a radio, where a seated man listens. The tell is bandwagon: a queue of different listeners all heading to the set implies that everyone tunes in.
