To put it in a scholarly way, as Professor Wang Chi of the Department of Journalism at National Chengchi University does, "listeners mainly choose to listen to information which has an immediate relevance to their daily lives, or which is close to them territorially." Therefore, concludes Wang, "it completely goes against the theory for people overseas or in mainland China to tune into the traffic reports from Taiwan."
有人反對是一點都不奇怪，因為根據新聞學的研究，「閱聽人所選擇的資訊大多與自己切身相關，或與自己的地域接近」，政治大學新聞系教授汪琪指出，「但是海外華人或大陸聽眾喜歡收聽台灣路況的現象，卻和理論完全相反。」
