[edit] History of ABC
On March 15, 1951, Asahi Broadcasting Corporation was founded in Nakanoshima, Kita-ku, and ABC started a radio broadcasting on November 11. On May 25, 1955, ABC and New Japan Broadcasting Company (NJB, the predecessor of Mainichi Broadcasting System) founded Osaka Television Co., Ltd. (大阪テレビ放送株式会社 Ōsaka Terebi Hōsō Kabushiki-gaisha?, OTV) in Dojima, Kita-ku. On December 1, 1956, OTV started a television broadcasting on channel 6, with a callsign JOBX-TV. On March 1, 1959, ABC acquired OTV and renamed the television station to ABC Osaka Television (朝日放送大阪テレビ Asahi Hōsō Ōsaka Terebi?, ABC-OTV). Finally on June 1, 1959, ABC formed a merger with OTV, and has been operating both television and radio services since the day.
ABC was one of founders of Japan News Network (JNN), the first news network of commercial television stations in Japan. On May 2, 1965, ABC joined Japan Radio Network (JRN), and the next day it also joined another commercial radio network National Radio Network (NRN). In 1966, dispersed offices and studios were integrated into the new headquarters building in Oyodo-minami, Oyodo-ku (present: Kita-ku).
On March 31, 1975, ABC pulled out of JNN and joined All-Nippon News Network (ANN) on behalf of Asahi Shimbun, one of major shareholders of ABC. Three years later, the frequency of ABC AM radio changed from 1010 kHz to 1008 kHz. On March 23, 2001, ABC acquired ISO 14001 as the first broadcasting station in Japan. The headquarters of ABC is planned to move from Oyodo-minami, Kita-ku to Fukushima, Fukushima-ku in 2008.
