At about 1146 UTC on the 28th day of July 2023, I tuned in to the Voice of the Strait broadcasting on 4900 kHz in the Chinese language.
The Voice of the Strait was founded on the 24th day of August 1958 and is located in Fuzhou City in Fujian province. Its predecessor was the PLA Fujian Front Line Broadcasting Station.
The station is owned by the People’s Liberation Army of China. The target audience is Taiwan. In 2015 the unit which operates Voice of the Strait was transferred from the People’s Liberation Army General Political Department to the People’s Liberation Army Strategic Support Force which is primarily responsible for psychological warfare operations against Taiwan.

The Voice of the Strait website states:-
“The Voice of the Straits has become an air bridge for spreading news and information and communicating cross-strait emotions with the concept of sincere communication, rich and colourful content, and lively and diverse forms.”

The overall reception of the Voice of the Strait was good.
