Akita Broadcasting System
Akita Broadcasting System, Inc. is a Japanese broadcaster in Akita Prefecture. Its radio station is affiliated with Japan Radio Network (JRN) and National Radio Network (NRN), and its TV station is affiliated with Nippon News Network (NNN) and Nippon TV Network System (NNS).
In 2021, all broadcasters in Japan will be transitioning their radio services from AM broadcasting to FM broadcasting to alleviate the burden of costs in operating 2 different frequencies. Due to vast, sparsely populated areas, where AM signals propagate properly than FM signals, Akita Broadcasting, and the Sapporo-based stations will not participate in the transition from AM to FM.
