 2009/01/19  Report of Visited BCC’s Taipei HQ and interviewed host Ms. Mei-ren Yu[Ting-wei Hsu]

We went toTaipei to visit. It is quite a place and even though everyone there was either at work or school, the streets were still busy with activities. After some waiting at the building, we went inside to interview Ms. Mei-ren Yu. We didn’t expect Ms. Yu, who’s often quite lively on radio, to answer questions so solemnly. Everyone was nervous because it was the first time we interviewed a famous person. After the interview was finished we took a picture with her. After that, we went to the 12^th floor to listen to Ms. Lu, BCC’s PR, to explain the BCC’s contribution to everyone. Often, loyal listeners send mails to express their gratitude. There were even pictures of fans with the radio personalities. After the introduction, we visited the recording room and checked out a recording of a live program. Most importantly, we learned about the proper manner for making a program and ways to capture the hearts of the audience, which were extremely important. After visiting, we went to have lunch. It was rather hot and Jun-hsian Hsu was sweating a lot; his face turned red! After we finished eating, Mr. Bao-chia (teacher) went to a book store. Director Cho took us to the nearbyHsing Tien Temple to pray and visit. After that, we interviewed Ms. Lu from BCC. Mr. Lu answered our questions and helped us to understand a lot. We thanked BCC for letting us learning things that we didn’t usually have access to.

Ms. Meng-yan Lu scheduled today’s itinerary. She took us to different places to visit, such as the studio of the News Network and the one where Ms. Mei-ren Yu hosts her show live, also a place where news was playing on TV. Each person had a bunch of information and they were busy typing out news! Ms. Lu took some time to introduce the history of BCC in detail and she told us the station’s response to power outage. If the electricity went out, BCC’s UPS system will automatically turn on. In addition, there are 2 to 3 engineers observing the power generator system, so there were no worries about equipment being not operational due to power outage.
　The interview time with Ms. Mei-ren Yu was only 30 minutes. We learned that she was a well-known cram school teacher. One day, one of her friends asked her if she wanted to try broadcasting, and she gave it a shot. It turned out everyone liked her conversation style and thus she became a host. She felt the biggest difference between radio programming and TV programming was that she could dress casually on radio and be less concerned with having the proper way to conduct herself. However, she had to put on make up on TV as well as care about the audience’s sensibility, which meant that she had to conduct herself carefully.
　　This trip toTaipei helped me to learn a lot, therefore, I want to make a perfect report.

Our biggest wish was to interview Ms. Mei-ren Yu inTaipei. Originally, Ms. Yu was just a famous cram school teacher. She tried out for radio because her friend asked. She didn’t know that she’d be quite popular and so Ms. Yu became a host of radio programs. She felt that the biggest difference between radio and TV broadcasting was that she could dress more casually on radio but she had to dress well on TV.
Ms. Lu scheduled out itinerary We got to see the studio for News Network. I saw many TV sets inside and each had news on and piles of informational documents were piled on everyone’s table. Ms. Lu took some time to introduce the history of BCC in detail. Is anyone curious what happens when the power is out? Actually, the UPS system is automatically turned on when the power is out, so everything always functioned normally no matter what happens. Finally, everyone here was very busy – I guess that was the difference between the city and the countryside.
