History

Early history

After the passage of the "Three Radio Laws" in 1950, plans to expand private broadcasting took place across Japan. Two companies, "Hiroshima Heiwa Broadcasting" and "Radio Hiroshima" applied for the establishment of private radio stations. Later on, the two companies merged upon recommendation by the Radio Supervisory Committee.<ref name=":0">Template:Cite book</ref>Template:Rp On April 21, 1951, Hiroshima Broadcasting (the newly merged two companies) was granted a license and on February 25 the following year, they held the promoters' meeting and received funding from newspapers Asahi Shimbun and Mainichi Shimbun.<ref name=":0" />Template:Rp

On August 8, 1952, after a general meeting of shareholders, Hiroshima Broadcasting was renamed to Radio Chugoku.<ref name=":0" />Template:Rp Radio Chugoku started broadcasting on October 1, 1952, at 6:30 am operating for at least 16 hours and 30 minutes every day.<ref name=":0" />Template:Rp

Expansion to TV broadcasting and further developments

In 1954, Radio Chugoku applied for a TV license,<ref name=":0" />Template:Rp and received a preliminary TV license on October 22, 1957.<ref name=":0" />Template:Rp On March 17, 1959, Radio Chugoku began TV broadcast trials.<ref name=":0" />Template:Rp Radio Chugoku started TV broadcasts on April 1, 1959<ref name=":0" />Template:Rp Also in the same year, it joined the Japan News Network.<ref name=":0" />Template:Rp

During its early operations, the broadcaster didn't have any professional TV studios which resulted its radio studio being multipurposed for TV broadcasts.<ref name=":0" />Template:Rp It was then decided that a new headquarters will be built in Motomachi (which started on November 5, 1960), adjacent to the Hiroshima Castle.<ref name=":0" />Template:Rp On October 19, 1960, Radio Chugoku started broadcasting on its newly built headquarters.<ref name=":0" />Template:Rp

On March 20, 1966, Chugoku Radio and Television began TV broadcasting in color.<ref name=":0" />Template:Rp On April 1 of the same year, it started uninterrupted^{{{#if:|{{{2}}}|[1]}}} TV broadcasts.<ref name=":0" />Template:Rp The company was then renamed to Chugoku Broadcasting on April 1, 1967 to reflect its TV and radio operations.<ref name=":0" />Template:Rp

Since the mid-60s, RCC produced documentaries with foreign productions. These include a documentary about Japanese immigrants in Hawaii in 1965 and about Hiroshima City and Volgograd becoming sister cities in 1968.<ref name=":0" />Template:Rp

On April 15, 1970, NPB Opening Day, RCC aired the first color Hiroshima Toyo Carp local game broadcasts for its broadcast markets. <ref name=":0" />Template:Rp Chugoku Broadcasting became an official broadcaster for airing highlights of the Hiroshima Flower Festival since it started in 1977.<ref name=":0" />Template:Rp
