Thanks to Sei-ichi Hasegawa (NDXC) of Japan for his comments that the Lunar New Year is generally not that important in Japan and "it is used at the festival of the Shinto shrines. Therefore there are no special broadcasts in Japan."
Whereas in China, the Spring Festival that celebrates the Lunar New Year is the most important holiday of the whole year. I should have mentioned that the special coverage by CNR-1 will be on February 13, their local New Year's Eve, from probably sometime before 1320 UT to after 1440 UT.
