History

[edit]

JOFP opened on at 11am on February 12, 1941, the same day as JOCP in Koriyama.[1] Radio 2 (JOFD) started broadcasting on June 1, 1951; its broadcasts went regular on May 10, 1952.

JOFP-TV signed on at 7am on March 1, 1959, on VHF channel 9, from a transmitter at Mount Sasamori, Shinobu District. In order to receive approval, it had to conduct preliminary tests before receiving the greenlight from JOHK.[2] JOFD-TV started broadcasting on November 1, 1960. JOFP-TV converted to color on September 17, 1965[3] In 1971, local news items began to be shot on color film.[4] and JOFD-TV on March 20, 1966.[5]

In 1977, work to convert local operations to stereo started.[6] Full-time stereo broadcasting on JOFP-FM began on March 16, 1981.[7] Television stereo broadcasts began on JOFP-TV on August 2, 1984,[8][9] while JOPG-TV followed on March 21, 1991.[10]

Fukushima was one of the seven locations where NHK STRL did its pilot Super High Vision broadcasts (comparable to 8K UHD) during the duration of the 2012 Summer Olympics.[11]

Local programming was added to NHK+ on June 5, 2023.[12]
