Former building
The NHK Tottori Broadcasting Station (NHK鳥取放送局, NHK Tottori Hoso Kyoku) is a unit of the NHK that oversees terrestrial broadcasting in Tottori Prefecture.
History
[edit]Radio station JOLG signed on on December 16, 1936, JOLC followed in April 1950.
On March 3, 1959, JOLG-TV signed on, on the same day as Nihonkai Telecasting. A microwave line was set up in Okayama from Ningyo-toge, because NTT did not establish a microwave line to Tottori yet.[1] JOLC-TV followed on December 28, 1962.
On December 24, 1964, NHK-FM (JOLG-FM) started test broadcasts.[2] Color TV started on both JOLG-TV and JOLC-TV on March 20, 1966;[3] local news was converted to color in early October 1971.[4] Work to convert the FM station to stereo began in 1977.[5]
In 1985, JOLG-FM ended dependence on Matsue for stereo broadcasts, completing what had started eight years earlier.[6] JOLG-TV started stereo broadcasts on August 8, 1986,[7] JOLG-TV followed on March 21, 1991.[8]
NHK+ added Matsue programming on May 22, 2023.[9]
