About Sound of Hope Media Group
Sound of Hope Media Group (SOH) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) company based in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, and Upstate New York. The company is committed to delivering a comprehensive service to the worldwide Chinese community in the forms of news, cultural, and entertainment programs.
Founded by a group of Silicon Valley engineers in May 2003, the company provides independent around-the-clock news reporting and originally produced programs via YouTube, websites, mobile apps, AM/FM radio, and shortwave radio. It currently focuses on two major markets: the US and China.
US
SOH’s US programming addresses the key needs of Chinese Americans and offers daily news updates about the country and local areas, and value-rich information in many fields, such as cars, health, gardening, education, career growth, entrepreneurship, and understanding America, etc. It also conducts in-depth reporting of social issues that are of major concern to the Chinese American community.
SOH aims to grow into the first national Chinese public network, reaching nearly half of the 5-million Chinese American population, to inform them, serve them, and help them understand and appreciate American values, and become positive contributors to the country that they now call home. SOH also aims to build a smooth and stable “bridge” between the Chinese community and mainstream America through its powerful network and unique dual-language simul-translation programs.
SOH broadcasts to San Francisco Bay Area via KSQQFM96.1, KQEB- LP FM 96.9, KVTO AM 1400 and partners with several other public radio stations to bring its highly regarded programs to major cities where China people concentrate, such as Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Seattle, New York etc.
China
SOH broadcasts to China through shortwave and can be heard by normal shortwave radio sets in vast regions of China. Additionally, the company uses firewall circumvention technology to reach Chinese people in an environment where freedom of the press is devoid. It is currently one of the biggest non-governmental international media that serves China and brings uncensored information to millions of Chinese people.
