NHK Okinawa Broadcasting Station

Wired broadcasting was transmitted around Naha, but three years later, in March 1945, the station equipment was damaged in the air raids just before the Battle of Okinawa, and the ceased operating and was temporarily discontinued.

In September 1964, the microwave line between Okinawa and Mainland Japan was opened, providing programs to OTV and RBC with sponsors.

On January 1, 1969, OHK began to charge a viewing fee (80 cents per month ).

The content of the broadcast was a mix of the two networks, and its contents were delayed (Grand Sumo wrestling and high school baseball were delayed by one day, and New Year's Eve Kohaku Uta Gassen was broadcast on New Year's Day).

A relay station was also set up on Miyakojima and Ishigakijima, and it was broadcast simultaneously with the main island.

The relocation to the new broadcasting hall constructed in Omoromachi, Naha City, was completed on March 6, 2006.

From April 2018, all local news and weather information on weekends and holidays (including year-end and New Year holidays) were unified into the Kyushu-Okinawa news block from Fukuoka, except for elections and disasters, in principle, for both TV and radio.

During the year-end and New Year period, as a general rule, Kyushu-Okinawa block news from Fukuoka will be broadcast as usual).

Information on Okinawa Prefecture was conveyed by inserting telops on the screen via the telephone line.

Initially, it was said that the relay station for digital broadcasting was intended to be installed in 2010, but many problems arose, such as how to maintain the relay line between the main island and Daito Island, and how to bear the installation costs.

On April 1, 2007, a relay station was opened in the form of FM wave conversion, but since signals are sent via satellite communication lines between the main island and Daito Island, it may not be possible to hear in extreme bad weather.

In particular, the Daito Islands remain the only area in Japan where direct reception of NHK-FM radio broadcasts is not possible.

Initially, it was retransmitted only to four stations in Sendai, Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka, but in September 2016, it was broadcast in eight major cities nationwide: Sapporo, Hiroshima, Matsuyama, and Fukuoka.
