History

JORK started broadcasting on November 28, 1932; JORB followed in December 1948.

Television broadcasts began on November 28, 1958. On December 8, to celebrate its launch, the song Leaving Southern Tosa was released in a cover by Peggy Hayama.[1][2] Local programming began in December 1960, followed by JORB-TV in August 1961.

The Nakamura Broadcasting Station which NHK used to deliver its local service was temporarily submerged as a result of a typhoon in August 1963.[3]

On April 1, 1964, JORB-FM started test broadcasts. Initially monaural, these became stereo on April 6.[4] On October 1, JORK-TV started color broadcasts;[5] JORB-TV followed on March 20, 1966.[6]

In early October 1971, color television news production began.[7] Work to convert JORB-FM to stereo was done in 1977; this enabled the station to do the conversion.[8] Dependence on Osaka for networked stereo programming ended with the installation of PCM lines on February 26, 1983.[9] JORK-TV started stereo broadcasts on August 8, 1986;[10] JORB-TV followed on December 24, 1990.[11]

On March 22, 2023, FM simulcasts of NHK Radio 1 began from the Mount Kashio transmitter, approved by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications the previous year.[12] On May 22, local programs were added to the NHK+ platform.[13]
