The following is a list of NHK broadcasting stations established by corporation in various parts of Japan. This is a list of broadcasting stations. There are 54 in total, including the Metropolitan Area Station, which has jurisdiction over Tokyo, as a broadcasting station in its own right.
Details
edit- Broadcasting stations in bold are the bases of each region. All stations other than Kanto-Koshinetsu were renamed "base broadcasting stations" due to the organizational reform on June 14, 2019.[1][2] Regarding Kanto-Koshinetsu, the Metropolitan Area Station, which plays the role of a base broadcasting station, it was established in the organizational reform on August 3, 2020.[2][3] Furthermore, on April 1, 2022, the names of the seven broadcasting stations will be changed back to "broadcasting stations." NHK states that the positioning and roles of these broadcasting stations will not change after that date.[4]
(City/ward name): Location of the city or ward where the broadcasting station is located. If there are multiple broadcasting stations within the same prefecture, the area under their jurisdiction is indicated separately. When the organization was revised in 2015, the news office and communication department were abolished and integrated into the branch. This section also describes the branches that were created in 1988 after being demoted from broadcasting stations.[4]

Hokkaido
editBecause Hokkaido is in a unique of "one road, one block" (1道1ブロック) environment, it has undergone unique reforms that differ from other regions.
In 2015, license fee sales in Hokkaido were integrated into the Sapporo station sales promotion department, and as a subordinate organization, sales were conducted at each station in Hakodate (south Hokkaido), Asahikawa (north Hokkaido), Obihiro (east Hokkaido), and Sapporo city (central Hokkaido). A center was established to carry out sales-related duties by dividing Hokkaido into four areas, regardless of the area of the broadcasting station.
However, with the arrival of Reiwa, the "department system" of each broadcasting station was changed to a "center system", and it was further reviewed, and finally, as of April 1, 2023.
Broadcasting stations in Hokkaido will be subject to a "three-tier system" different from those in other areas (all stations will be under the control of the Sapporo station, but the three later stations will also be controlled by the first station).
The Sapporo station is organized into two centers: the "Business Management Center" and the "Media Center," and all departments other than the administrative departments at each station are consolidated into the "Media Center." As a result, the "sales center" will be abolished and transferred to the attached station, and the state will become "each station in the prefecture = media center".[5]
The three later stations have transferred the duties of "programming", "announcements", and "receipt fee sales" to the earlier stations, but will continue to carry out other duties and will work in cooperation with the earlier stations.

Kanto-Koshinetsu
editKanto and Koshinetsu had been managed by multiple departments at the headquarters for many years, but when the "two-tier system" of broadcasting stations was reinstated in Reiwa, the old "Metropolitan Area Broadcasting Center" was separated from the Broadcasting General Branch → Media General Branch, and became the base broadcasting station for the Kanto and Koshinetsu regions as the Metropolitan Area Station.
Initially, there was only a wide-area management department and a news/program production department, but later the wide-area reception fee sales department was also transferred.
The base stations in the metropolitan area have a three-center system: the "Business Management Center," the "Content Center," and the "Viewer Relations Center." In addition, local stations, excluding metropolitan area stations, have a two-center system: the Business Management Planning Center and the Contents Center.[6] However, the situation for metropolitan area stations is slightly different from other base stations, with the Business Management Center only managing broadcasting stations in the metropolitan area, the Viewer Relations Center only managing viewer duties related to license fees, and the ``Content Management Center only managing broadcast stations in the metropolitan area. "Center" does not include transmitting/receiving technical operations or announcement rooms. Excluded areas will be handled at the headquarters level as before.
