NHK Tottori Broadcasting Station

The NHK Tottori Broadcasting Station (NHK鳥取放送局, NHK Tottori Hoso Kyoku) is a unit of the NHK that oversees terrestrial broadcasting in Tottori Prefecture.

History

Radio station JOLG signed on on December 16, 1936, JOLC followed in April 1950.

On March 3, 1959, JOLG-TV signed on, on the same day as Nihonkai Telecasting. A microwave line was set up in Okayama from Ningyo-toge, because NTT did not establish a microwave line to Tottori yet.[1] JOLC-TV followed on December 28, 1962.

On December 24, 1964, NHK-FM (JOLG-FM) started test broadcasts.[2] Color TV started on both JOLG-TV and JOLC-TV on March 20, 1966;[3] local news was converted to color in early October 1971.[4] Work to convert the FM station to stereo began in 1977.[5]

In 1985, JOLG-FM ended dependence on Matsue for stereo broadcasts, completing what had started eight years earlier.[6] JOLG-TV started stereo broadcasts on August 8, 1986,[7] JOLG-TV followed on March 21, 1991.[8]

NHK+ added Matsue programming on May 22, 2023.[9]
