I've hear this sort of programming on CNR1 several times on Sunday mornings. Apparently some sort of weekend classical music feature.

I wouldn't have thought to check 1440 this morning except for Bruce's suggestion, but sure enough, a fast talking Japanese woman was ruling a suppressed sounding domestic channel for a minute or so around 1355UT.
