History

In the early 1950s, commercial broadcasters began to appear throughout Japan. On February 20, 1953, Yamagata Broadcasting held its first founders' meeting, and Yamagata Shimbun, a local newspaper, had an important role in the establishment of Yamagata Broadcasting, as did most of the first commercial broadcasters in Japan. At that time, the head office of Yamagata Broadcasting was located in Yamagata Shimbun with a capital of 50 million yen.
