History


Launch as radio broadcaster

There were initial attempts to establish a commercial broadcaster in the prefecture in December 1947, which was then supported with the passage of the "Three Radio Laws" ( Radio Law,

, and Radio Supervisory Committee Establishment Law) in 1950. At that time, there were competition for private broadcasting license between Radio Tohoku (not related to the former name of Akita Broadcasting), an unnamed local newspaper in Aomori, and Tohoku Broadcasting. In April 1953, Tohoku Radio and Tohoku Broadcasting made a settlement, and Tohoku Broadcasting cancelled its application for a broadcasting license in Aomori Prefecture, and the two cooperated fully. In August of the same year, Radio Tohoku received its broadcasting license which was then renamed to Radio Aomori on September 26. Radio Aomori was then established on September 30, 1953. A day before its establishment, they conducted trial radio broadcasts. On October 12, 1953, Radio Aomori officially started broadcasting. Upon its launch, Radio Aomori wasn't receivable to southern parts of the prefecture. This was later resolved when the Hirosaki relay transmitter was opened in 1956. According to a survey conducted by the local government of Aomori Prefecture in 1957, Radio Aomori accounted for 76.2% in audience share compared to NHK Radio 1's 21%.


Expansion to TV broadcasting and further developments on radio

Radio Aomori started preparing to broadcast on TV since August 1955, and obtained a TV broadcast license in October 1957. They conducted trial broadcasts on September 14, 1959, and officially started TV broadcasting on October 1 of the same year. RAB initially intended to join JNN. However, before it started broadcasting it was discovered that Nippon TV were the most favorable. In October 1961 to reflect the rapid development of their television broadcasting, Aomori Radio changed its name to Aomori Broadcasting. In 1965, RAB joined the JRN and
