The NHK Yamaguchi Broadcasting Station (NHK山口放送局, NHK Yamaguchi Hōsō Kyoku) is a unit of the NHK that oversees terrestrial broadcasting in Yamaguchi Prefecture.
History
[edit]The station started broadcasting on April 19, 1941, as the NHK Hofu Broadcasting Station (日本放送協会防府放送局), under the callsign JOUG. Radio 2 (JOUC) started broadcasting on June 1, 1951, and NHK FM on April 1, 1964.[1] Television broadcasts began on June 15, 1959.
On April 14, 1962, the station was renamed NHK Yamaguchi Broadcasting Station due to the relocation to the prefectural capital.[1] NHK-E (JOUC-TV) started broadcasting on September 1, 1962.
On January 26, 1994, NHK Yamaguchi and Changwon KBS held a joint debate using satellite links. Both presented their respective regions to the opposite audience and talked about topics that would increase civil exchange between the two countries.[2] By 2008, NHK Yamaguchi was doing a news exchange with its Korean sister station.[3]
NHK+ added Yamaguchi programming on May 22, 2023.[4]
