NHK Tsuruoka Branch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The NHK Tsuruoka Branch (NHK鶴岡支局, NHK Tsuruoka Shikyoku) is a division of the NHK Yamagata Broadcasting Station which is in charge of news gathering operations in Tsuruoka and the coastal area of Yamagata Prefecture.
The station started as a provisional station on December 31, 1941, and began full-time broadcasts on April 21, 1946, under the call sign JOJP.[1]
JOJP-TV (channel 3) started broadcasting in February 1960, followed by JOJD-TV (channel 6) in November 1962.[2]
In 2017, the branch moved and the old building closed. The Shonai Cultural Center moved to Ginza Street, but eventually shut down in March 2021. A group of locals who went to its classes opposed the closure of the college and created a volunteer organization to continue work.[3] In 2022, the land of the former headquarters was sold to Takara Leben Tohoku.[4] An apartment complex was built, forming Leben Tsuruoka GRAN MARK TERRACE (five floors, 128 units), expected to finish by spring 2025.[5]
The NHK Tsuruoka Children's Choir, the last remain of the time it was an independent station, continues to perform.[6]
