To announce new policies, between 1967 and 1970, the government requested the Ministry of Transportation and Communications to build short wave 1000 watt-transmitters, code name “Tian Ma Project”. To establish a microwave system the government had to build microwave machine room inFengyuan Township,Changhua County in order to improve the listening quality for listeners in Central Taiwan andDachu Township onMt. Bagua was the best location to set up the transmission station. On August 3, 1975,BCC Chunghsin New Village audio center, established the Fengyuan Station and Agriculture Broadcast Network at Fengyuan.

       BCC Fengyuan Station primarily relays FM programs such as i Radio, i Like Radio, and Formosa Network from the Taipei HQ but it’s quite capable to broadcast local program and insert local commercials at any time. The programs from the HQ inTaipei are broadcasted live, and with the assistance of Dalet computer, the signal is sent through microwave and satellite to Fengyuan Station. For programming needs there’s a main audio room, one control room, 2 secondary audio rooms, self-monitor/self recording and a backup control room at the HQ. The self-monitoring part at Hakka Network is transmitted through microwave and ISDN to Fengyuan Station and HQ owns 4 audio rooms and 2 control rooms.
