Kitanihon Broadcasting Co., Ltd. (北日本放送株式会社, Kitanihon Hōsō Kabushiki-gaisha), also known as KNB, is a Japanese broadcast network affiliated with Nippon News Network (NNN) and Nippon Television Network System (NNS). Their headquarters are located in Toyama Prefecture.
History
With the promulgation of the Three Radio Laws, it was initially expected in 1948 that Toyama would be the target area of a radio station from Ishikawa as Hokuriku Cultural Broadcasting (the later Hokuriku Broadcasting Company). Teru Nakayama, editor-in-chief of the Kitanihon Shimbun, who felt a sense of crisis about this, advised the top management to apply for a license for a private radio station. At this time, no one listened, but this was the trigger that later led to the opening of Kitanihon Broadcasting.
Kitanihon Broadcasting applied for a license on February 15, 1951 and issued its preliminary license on April 21 the same year. [1]
