Nagasaki Broadcasting

Nagasaki Broadcasting Co., Ltd. (長崎放送株式会社, Nagasaki Hōsō kabushiki gaisha), also known as NBC, is a broadcasting station in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. It founded in 1952, and it is the only commercial broadcasting that provides both TV and radio services in Nagasaki prefecture. Nagasaki Broadcasting is affiliated with the JNN (TV), JRN, NRN (RADIO). Nagasaki Broadcasting started radio broadcasting in 1953. Its radio station also covers Saga Prefecture by means of a separate radio station (NBC Radio Saga). NBC started television broadcasting in 1959, and started digital terrestrial television broadcasting in 2006. In 2021, NBC moved into its new headquarter, and started to use new logo. This network has no correlation to the American broadcaster of the same name despite the identical abbreviations. Nagasaki Broadcasting, like all Japanese TV stations, ended analog broadcasting on July 24, 2011, as it transitions into full-time digital broadcasting, which started in the early 2000s. The shut down also includes the Sasebo relay (JOMF-TV), which is now incorporated into the main NBC Nagasaki digital feed. While most of JNN's stations air on virtual channel "6" just like mother station, TBS, Nagasaki Broadcasting is one of 6 JNN stations that air their programs on virtual channel "3".
