Nishinippon Broadcasting Co., Ltd. (西日本放送株式会社, Nishinippon Hōsō Kabushikigaisha) is a Japanese television and radio broadcaster in Kagawa and Okayama. The abbreviation, RNC originates in the radio service name (Radio Nishinippon Broadcasting Company, 西日本放送ラジオ). It is affiliated with Japan Radio Network (JRN), National Radio Network (NRN), Nippon News Network (NNN), and Nippon Television Network System (NNS).
RNC's radio division was initially an NRN-only station for the Okayama-Takamatsu market since they joined during radio network's creation in May 3, 1965. Years later, in October 1997, both RNC and cross-market rivals RSK Radio joined JRN and NRN respectively. Currently, RNC Radio serves as the default JRN-NRN affiliate in the entire prefecture.
