NHK's 80th Anniversary
« on: May 06, 2015, 1447 UTC »
Japan's international broadcast will mark its 80th milestone this year. It started as a short wave broadcast in Japanese and English on June 1, 1935. It has continued until today with the exception of a six-year-period after the war when broadcast was suspended. It resumed broadcast on February 1, 1952.

Currently NHK World Radio Japan is available in 18 languages including Japanese and English. There has also been a diversification in the ways it is broadcasted. In addition to the conventional short wave, it can be heard on FM and satellite radio. It is also available on PCs and mobile terminals. In 1995 international TV broadcast started, and Internet services have become popular since the start of the 21st century. News about society and economics, as well as a range of information on culture is being sent daily from Japan to the world.

In 2015, we have planned many special programs to celebrate the 80 years since international broadcasting was started. We hope you will look forward to listening to these programs.

More information can be found on the special 80th anniversary website.
