The station moved to Fukuyama in 1967. It lost its privileges in 1988, becoming a mere office of NHK Hiroshima. In 2015, it announced that it would vacate its premises in 2016 and move to the second floor of the Ines Fukuyama building, becoming a mere office. After that, it was only in charge of news gathering for the region.^[3] In September 2015, the Broadcasting Time Travel event, held in observance of NHK's 90th anniversary, was the last full-scale event held inside the full office before the downsize and relocation.^[4]
