With the promulgation of the Three Radio Laws, it was initially expected in 1948 that Toyama would be the target area of a radio station from Ishikawa as Hokuriku Cultural Broadcasting (the later Hokuriku Broadcasting Company). Teru Nakayama, editor-in-chief of the Kitanihon Shimbun, who felt a sense of crisis about this, advised the top management to apply for a license for a private radio station. At this time, no one listened, but this was the trigger that later led to the opening of Kitanihon Broadcasting.
Kitanihon Broadcasting applied for a license on February 15, 1951 and issued its preliminary license on April 21 the same year.[1]
