Daily at this time we shall speak to you about America and the war. The news may be good or bad. We shall tell you the truth.
—The Voice of America
February 24,1942
Those words were from the Voice of America’s first broadcast during World War Ⅱ. Today more than 80 million listeners tune in every day. The broadcast network is the largest in the world and reaches millions of listeners in Africa, in English, French, Hausa, Portuguese, and Swahili. The program is broadcast in Spanish and Portuguese for Central and South America. The Middle East receives its news in Arabic and Parsi, South Asia picks up signals in Bengali, Hindi, and Urdu. The Russian-language service is on 14 hours a day.
All of the broadcasts come from the Voice of America headquarters（总部）in Washington D．C．. Visitors can push a red button outside any of the twenty-five glass-walled studios and listen to the broadcasts, in Hindi, that Indian citizens are listening to at that very moment in India.
In addition to news broadcasts, the Voice of America sends out interviews and a wide variety of programs. For example, special broadcasts in easy English are written for students of English as a foreign language. Among the most popular features（特色）of the Voice of America are the musical programs which offer every kind of music from Bach to Rock.
