ABOUT APPLE-FM

The Oldies Station from Hong Kong


OUR HISTORY

Apple-FM started in a small way in 2002 and has grown through building audience
all over the world. Looking at the web server statistics we can see visitors
from South America, Africa, Europe, North America, and all over Asia. In fact we
have listeners in 118 countries.

We are now available via the net in MP3, and AAC+. We can also be heard on
iPhones, iPads, and through our Android App, on android tablets and phones. We
are listed in major directories such as iTunes and Tunein. We are always on the
lookout for new ways to reach our audience around the world, around the clock.

As the internet has evolved from Modems to broadband, so has Apple-FM. Our
software has been upgraded to enable us to bring you more entertainment 24 hours
a day. Now we have ways to listen to match almost any way you may wish to listen
to us.

FM stations in some parts of the world now rotate as little as 200 tracks in a
week and this can result in some tracks playing too frequently. We regularly
play 4000 tracks with some seasonal variations. This means you should get plenty
of variety in what you hear. Listen all day at work, with no repeats. And the
library is being constantly added to, as we find new memories to play you.

Although our target audience is by now in their 40's, some of these tracks will
be new music to younger listeners. But the mix will stay strange to everyone, no
matter your age.

We have news about every 45 minutes. Some hours have no news and some 30 minutes
apart, but mostly you should be up to date every 45 minutes. We also have Takin'
Ya Back, AppCheck and other features. During the Australian Open Tennis and
Wimbledon Championships we broadcast updates throughout the day including
previews, press conferences and Championship history items, from reporters on
site at the venues.

As our audience is world wide, Apple-FM runs on a 3 and 8 hour programme
pattern. Some programmes are repeated to make them available to all our
audience. Some shorter elements are repeated at 3 hour intervals.

INSIDE INFORMATION

What's going on?


HUALUXE HOTELS

posted June 16th, 2019 by Apple-FM

The Intercontinental Hotels Group (IHG) has begun to open a specifically
tailored hotel chain with a Chinese styling called Hualuxe. These hotels
incorporate Chinese cultural aspects such as tea and natural woods.

The Hualuxe in Xiamen, Fujian, is one of these new hotels, opening in November
2017. It has mastered the Chinese style of making guests feel special to an
extent that we have never found in any hotel anywhere. Nothing is too much to
make a guest's stay complete, and the whole staff is there to server just them.
The training programme for new staff must be something that was worked on for
months to perfect. The TripAdvisor reviews number 441, at the time of writing,
with 432 putting the hotel in the excellent category. Most sight the staff and
service as their biggest impression.

IHG members have a special check in desk in most IHG hotels, but here it is
taken to a level that tells the guest they have come to a hotel that may be
under rated at just 5 stars.

The restaurant standard is high and extensive. Breakfast is worth waking up for,
no matter your preference. All ages are catered for along with Chinese and
Western options, or, of course, you can mix and match. But if you would like
something not seen, you may well find a chief cooking a custom disk for you.

The rooms also reflect the Chinese styling in the decor, along with a deep,
comfortable, sleep. Even the chairs and cabinets are unmistakable Chinese. The
Xiamen hotel has great views across the harbour to the city. You can watch the
ships and ferries moving about or just enjoy the skyline.

The hotel is across a 6 lane bridge from the city proper, but it is not a long
or costly ride to "downtown" or any sight seeing location. The staff can advise
you on places to go and even how to get back if you are in an unfamiliar city.

Those staying in a Club Room have access to the Club Lounge and again stunning
views from the 27th floor, as they eat or drink. This too has a very strong
service ethic to make it a home from home.

If you are visiting Xiamen or any mainland city, you should search to see if
there is a Hualuxe hotel there yet and consider it for your stay. We cannot
recommend them enough.


NEW JINGLES

posted August 30th, 2017 by Apple-FM

Listen out for our new station jingles from Jingles Factory in Italy. The new
material will grow into the Apple-FM sound over the next few weeks as we make
more and more from the basic cuts. JF have supplied just the singing, long music
beds, effects, and more to let us play and play for hours making more stuff. We
are sure you will enjoy the new sounds. Listen out for the one that sounds like
Long Train Running by the Doobie Brothers, or the one that sounds like a nice
jazz tune, or there's the one with a hint of Gamble & Huff. Then there is more
besides those.


YOUR OFFICE IN CHINA

posted November 5th, 2016 by Apple-FM

The autumn round of trade fairs in Hong Kong is drawing to an end. But one of
the problems, while walking around the stands, is to sort out which are truly
manufacturers and which are trading or reseller companies. Then there is the
problem of quality control and checking the management systems of factories. For
some, this can be a time consuming and expensive task.

A company called OneReach tries to serve this need. They market themselves as
your representative in China. They are not just for electronics, but also cover
Tea, Clothing, Kitchenware, Cosmetics, and more. They can Source your products
and then monitor productions, shipping and on-site inspections. If you want to
inspect yourself in person, they will also help with interpreters, accompanied
visits, transport pick-ups, and accommodation bookings.

Their office is close to the Fu Tian/Lok Ma Chau crossing from Hong Kong into
Shenzhen, so a quick visit from Hong Kong is quite easy. Then they can whisk you
off to review possible makers for your products.

You can contact OneReach at +86 136 0305 5631 or +86 755 2527 1711 or by email
at phoebe@onereach.hk and their website is at www.onereach.hk


MIC'ING THE WORLD

posted April 18th, 2016 by Apple-FM

The spring editions of the Hong Kong electronics fairs have been held this week
in Wan Chai (HKTDC) and at Asia World Expo (Global Sourcing). With our usual
love of gadgets we just had to go along. Asicer (www.asicer.com.cn) were showing
their range of microphones (Well we are radio people).

You may see outdoor press conferences on TV News with reporters holding the ends
of their mobile phones up to the speaker to record what is said. But Asicer
provide a better option for recording on your phone. The little MC-098 can be
plugged into the earphone socket of your phone and you can plug earphones into
the bottom of the mic to hear what is being picked up by the mic. This will give
a far better recording for news reporting. The mic has an internal rechargeable
battery to power the mic on the road, or you can plug in a standard USB cable to
power or charge the unit.

The bigger MC-094 can be put in a desk stand or given a pop screen for recording
in a studio setting. The mics can also be plugged into a PC sound card Mic
input. Asicer's mics can be used for Karaoke or voice recording. They have built
in echo that can be faded out for a clean sound. The ability to monitor what you
are recording all in one unit is handy for one man operation. So they can be
suitable for home podcast recordings as well as news recordings.

You can find out more on their website or by emailing alleen@asicer.com.cn or
call Alleen on +86 134 2424 2731




NEW TOYS FROM SHENZHEN

posted December 22nd, 2015 by Apple-FM

Just arrived from across the border is the MX7-B speaker & power bank from NCT
(http://nctechno.com/).

The sound quality is excellent, delivering 3W of audio output.

It can play audio from an SD card, from a slot on the bottom of the device, or
audio cable from your phone, PC & tablet, or you can link to it via a Bluetooth
connection.

As there is a built-in power bank, you can use the speaker without wires for
several hours.

The power bank can also give 5000mAh at 1A to charge your phone if you need.

The unit is well thought out with small nylon rests on the bottom of the MX7-B
to protect it and your table top if you stand it up, using the little built-in
prop on the back of the speaker. The prop also has a nylon tip to avoid
scratches. There are also LED's to show how the power bank is doing, that it is
charging and how much charge it has stored.

We will be giving ours a good workout over Christmas, but our first day using it
has been very pleasing.

For more infomation email Catherine at sales03@nctechno.com

NEW WEBSITE

posted September 8th, 2015 by Apple-FM

As you can see, we have a new website. The old one was "Flash" and so is posing
problems with more and more devices. The new site is written in HTML5 and so be
visible on almost all mobile phones, tablets, and PC's.

The new player is also HTML5 and so your mobile should play the station when you
are on the site. We are still using the 64K feed for the website, as a lot of
browsers have a problem playing AAC+. Hopefully this will change soon and we can
use an AAC+ feed to save on your mobile data. But you can still go to the other
feeds directly from the links at the top of the page.

As ever we welcome your comments on our service, so please email us or use the
