NHK Nara Broadcasting Station (NHK奈良放送局, NHK Nara Hōsō Kyoku) is a unit of the NHK that oversees terrestrial broadcasting in Nara Prefecture. Locally, it only broadcasts NHK FM and NHK General TV. NHK Radio 1, NHK Radio 2 and NHK Educational TV are all dependent on Osaka.
The station opened as an office of the Osaka station on September 16, 1937.[1] Full local broadcasts did not begin until 1971, when NHK FM opened its local station (JOUP-FM, 87.4 MHz),[2] followed by JOUP-TV in 1972 (channel 51).[3]
On September 28, 2020, NHK Nara relocated to its current facilities at Sanjo-oji.[4][5][6] Local programming was added to NHK+ on October 3, 2022.[7]
