History
Radio station JOHG started broadcasting on October 26, 1935.[1] Television broadcasts started on February 22, 1958 (JOHG-TV, JOHC-TV started on April 8, 1962).
On December 15, 1961, it installed a relay station at Naze, Amami Ōshima, the first of its kind to deliver radio signals to the remote island areas.[2] Television reception at Naze started on June 10, 1963 for General TV, while Educational TV relays to the island started on November 1.[3]
Color broadcasts for both JOHG-TV and JOHC-TV began on March 20, 1966, but were initially limited to the mainland area of the prefecture.[4] Color signals were made available to Amami on May 15, 1972.[5] Work to convert the local facilities to accommodate stereo broadcasting were concluded in 1976.[6] At an unknown date during fiscal 1983, an FM stereo line between Kagoshima and Naze was established, bringing stereo audio to the remote islands..[7] JOHG-TV was converted to stereo on July 20, 1984.[8] NHK+ added Kagoshima programming on May 15, 2023.[9]
For its 90th anniversary, NHK Kagoshima used the slogan "Aimo, koimo", which in the local dialect means "this and that". The logo is represented by a face, where the eyes are the 90.[10]
