'Vulgar' Shaanxi radio station shut down

AN illegal private radio station broadcasting medicine ads and vulgar content in northwestern China's Shaanxi Province was shut down by local authorities yesterday, Hsn.cn reported today.

Four people running the radio station have been detained.

The station which covered most of the Xi'an urban area was the first private radio station busted in the city, said Shaanxi Radio Administration Bureau.

Under Chinese law, it's illegal to own a private radio station.

"After several tests, we found a transmitter on the roof of a 24-floor-highrise in a residential complex and caught four workers," said Liu Xiaobing, deputy head with a monitoring station of the Radio Administration Bureau in Xi'an.

"I know it's illegal to set up radio stations on my own, but I just wanted to have a try for fun," said one of the suspects surnamed Cui.
