WCPE Expands Offerings to Mandarin Speaking Audience
New Web site Goodien.org Reaches World's Largest Language Population

WAKE FOREST, N.C. (January 31, 2007)-Curtis Brothers, outreach director for WCPE,
TheClassicalStation.org, announces today that WCPE Member Paul C. Hsieh has
developed a Mandarin-language Web site to promote the availability of Great
Classical Music, 24 Hours a Day to the Mandarin Chinese speaking audience.

Hsieh created the site so that Chinese-speaking music lovers will have a name that
is easier to remember and to spell. In Mandarin, The Classical Station is pronounced
Goo-Dien. The entire site is written in the Mandarin Chinese language and is
independently owned and operated by Hsieh.

"A great feature of WCPE is its link to the online ArkivMusic CD store," says Hsieh.
"Listeners in Taiwan and Hong Kong are now able to buy classical CDs from
ArikivMusic, which started its direct shipping program in 2007." A portion of the
price for CDs purchased from ArikivMusic through the WCPE site is donated back to
WCPE.

WCPE's live broadcast of Great Classical Music, 24 Hours A Day can be accessed
around the globe in several ways; on-line streaming in multiple formats, including
IPv6, local cable television systems and traditional radio broadcasting. A complete
list of the ways WCPE is available with instructions for cable and satellite
reception can be found at TheClassicalStation.org/listen.shtml.

In central North Carolina and southern Virginia, WCPE is found on the radio at 89.7 FM.

About WCPE:
With a 29-year history, WCPE is a non-commercial, 100 percent listener-supported,
independent station dedicated to excellence in Great Classical Music, 24 Hours a
Day. Community-minded business underwriters and foundations are among the 150,000
listeners in the North Carolina broadcast area. General Manager Deborah S. Proctor's
leadership has enabled the WCPE community to include national and worldwide
listeners. Other radio stations and cable television systems can rebroadcast Great
Classical Music, 24 Hours a Day. WCPE is one of the first public broadcasters to
stream on the Internet. WCPE is heard worldwide on the Internet in multiple formats,
including the next generation IPv6. Because WCPE receives no tax-derived support,
the station conducts two on-air fundraising campaigns and two major mail-out
campaigns per year to raise needed operating funds. Quarter Notes, the WCPE Program
Guide, is published four times a year as a means to enhance appreciation and
understanding of classical music. It is distributed to station supporters and is
also available online at TheClassicalStation.org/guide. For more information, visit
TheClassicalStation.Org or call 1-800-556-5178.
