I seem to remember reading a couple different accounts about how GI's liked Radio Tokyo because they liked the music they played! Below is the music itinerary from the Tokyo Rose show! I think it was called 'Zero Hour'

loud opening number Strike Up the Band by the Boston Pops Orchestra
Messages from POW's: 'Hi mom, this is Corporal X, we are OK but we need socks and food
The Orphan Annie Show: 20 minutes of high quality American jazz and semi-classical records introduced by Annie
American home-front news: titbits picked up from America by Japanese monitoring stations
'Juke Box' 15-20 minutes of popular jazz
'Ted's news highlight tonight': more news from overseas SW broadcasts
News summary: sometimes read by Charles Yoshii, the Japanese 'Lord Haw Haw'
Military marches
