==History==
The predecessor company, Radio San-in Broadcasting Co., Ltd. (RSB: Radio San-in Broadcasting Co., Ltd.), was founded by Ichiro Nosaka, who majored in radio before the war and was the head of the Sakai Coast Guard communications station after the war. In response to the amendments to the Broadcasting Law and Radio Law in April 1950, his younger brother Shinzo (father of the former Yonago Mayor Yasuo Saka), a radio engineer, made full-fledged plans to open a radio station, which had been under consideration until then. Yasuhisa Nosaka, the father of both of the brothers and a prominent local figure who served as a member of the Yonago City Council even before the war, agreed with their idea, and the three of them drew up an application for establishment, and the local business community With the cooperation of Yonago Shinkin Bank chairman Kisaburo Aoto (at the time), who was a good understanding of Yasuhisa, he supported Heibei Sakaguchi (2nd), Choemon Ta (23rd), and Yonehara.<ref name="yasuo">[https://web.archive.org/web/20141211061537/http://www.city.yonago.lg.jp/9452.htm 少年時代の思い出/米子市ホームページ] (Archived December 11, 2014)</ref> Shozo and others participated as promoters, and Hideyuki Miyoshi became the representative and submitted the application in December 1952. The following year, in September 1953, it was granted a preliminary license.

As stated in Yasuo's reminiscences, the office building at the time of its opening was located on the second floor of the Oyasu Building in Yonago City. There was a [[pachinko parlor]] on the first floor. The entrance was also shared with a pachinko parlor, and employees and performers had to pass through the pachinko machines that were open. The studio reportedly struggled with soundproofing to prevent the noise from the pachinko machines. For this reason, at the time of its opening, it was nicknames '''Pachinko Broadcasting Station'''. In addition, the transmitting station was rented out at the facilities of [[Nippon Telegraph and Telephone|NTT]].<ref>Japan Commercial Broadcasting Federation "Ten Years of Commercial Broadcasting" 1961 pp.537–538</ref>

After that, its television broadcasts started on December 15, 1959, and changed the company name to ''San-in Broadcasting Co., Ltd.'' (abbreviation ''' BSS''': '''B'''roadcasting '''S'''ystem of '''S'''an-in Inc.) on June 1, 1961.

==Supplement==
Although this broadcasting station belongs to JNN/JRN/NRN, it was also once associated with Asahi Shimbun. Therefore, on BSS radio, the Asahi Shimbun news of independence work are broadcast during the morning.  That key stations differ on radio and television Since the system of the area of the television station opened from the second half of the 1950s to the second half of the 1960s was 1 prefecture 1 wave in principle when beginning television broadcasting of this broadcasting station, In Tottori Prefecture in which [[Nihonkai Television|Nihonkai TV]] (日本海テレビ) which had already begun broadcast at this time exists, it is because its service cannot be started, but it is Shimane Prefecture which had not prepared the television station yet then and its service was to be started first. And already, the request of a start of television broadcasting was replied to Tottori Prefecture, and Tottori Prefecture has also started television broadcasting at last in September 1972.  Simultaneous broadcast of the program besides the series which Nihonkai TV, such as a "morning news show" and ''Doraemon'', and [[San-in Chuo Television Broadcasting|San-in Chuo TV]] (山陰中央テレビ) are treating to one time in television broadcasting till September 1989 might be carried out also by BSS.
