NHK was the first broadcaster in the world to broadcast in high-definition (usingmultiple sub-Nyquist sampling encoding,also known as Hi-Vision) and in8K.[5]

History

[edit]

NHK's earliest forerunner was the Tokyo Broadcasting Station(Đông kinh phóng tống cục),founded in 1924 under the leadership of CountGotō Shinpei.Tokyo Broadcasting Station, along with separate organizations inOsakaandNagoya,began radio broadcasts in 1925. The three stations merged under the first incarnation of NHK in August 1926.[6]NHK was modelled on theBBCof theUnited Kingdom,[4]and the merger and reorganisation was carried out under the auspices of the pre-warMinistry of Communications.[7]NHK's second radio network began in 1931, and the third radio network (FM) began in 1937.

Radio broadcasting

[edit]

NHK beganshortwavebroadcasting on an experimental basis in the 1930s, and began regular English- and Japanese-language shortwave broadcasts in 1935 under the nameRadio Japan,initially aimed at ethnic Japanese listeners inHawaiiand the west coast ofNorth America.By the late 1930s, NHK's overseas broadcasts were known asRadio Tokyo,which became an official name in 1941.[citation needed]

In November 1941, theImperial Japanese Armynationalised all public news agencies and coordinated their efforts via the Information Liaison Confidential Committee.[citation needed]All published and broadcast news reports became official announcements of the Imperial Army General Headquarters in Tokyo for the duration ofWorld War II.The famousTokyo Rosewartime programs were broadcast by NHK.[4]NHK also recorded and broadcast theGyokuon-hōsō,the surrender speech made by EmperorHirohito,in August 1945.[8]

Following the war, in September 1945, the Allied occupation administration under GeneralDouglas MacArthurbanned all international broadcasting by NHK, and repurposed several NHK facilities and frequencies for use by theFar East Network(nowAmerican Forces Network). Japanese-American radio broadcasterFrank Shozo Babajoined NHK during this time and led an early post-war revamp of its programming. Radio Japan resumed overseas broadcasts in 1952.[citation needed]

A newBroadcasting Act[ja]was enacted in 1950, which made NHK a listener-supported independent corporation and simultaneously opened the market forcommercial broadcastingin Japan.[9]NHK startedtelevisionbroadcasting in 1953, followed by its educational TV channel in 1959 and color television broadcasts in 1960.

NHK opened the first stage ofits current headquartersinJapan's capital city'sspecial wardShibuyaas an international broadcasting center for the1964 Summer Olympics,the first widely televised Olympic Games. The complex was gradually expanded through 1973 when it became the headquarters for NHK. The previous headquarters adjacent toHibiya Parkwas redeveloped as the Hibiya City high-rise complex.

Satellite broadcasting

[edit]

NHK began experimental satellite broadcasting with the NHK BS 1 channel in 1984, followed by NHK BS 2 in 1985.[10]Both channels began regular broadcasts in 1989. In April 2011, BS 1 was rebranded while BS 2 channel ceased broadcasting and was replaced by "BS Premium" which broadcasts on the channel formerly used by BShi.

International satellite broadcasts to North America and Europe began in 1995, which led to the launch ofNHK Worldin 1998. It becamefree-to-airover theAstra 19.2°E(Astra 1L) andEurobirdsatellites in Europe in 2008.

Digital television

[edit]

NHK begandigital televisionbroadcasting in December 2000 through BS Digital, followed by terrestrial digital TV broadcasts in three major metropolitan areas in 2003. NHK's digital television coverage gradually expanded to cover almost all of Japan by 24 July 2011, when analog transmissions were discontinued & ended (except in three prefectures that were heavily affected by the2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunamiIwate,Miyagi,Fukushima– where it was discontinued on 31 March 2012).

Services

[edit]

All of them can also be tuned through the Internet, within the national territory.

Television

[edit]

It manages two open signal channels through digital terrestrial television. Since Japan has a television network system, it schedules territorial disconnections in each of its centers. However, the NHK brand is common for the whole country.

  • NHK General TV(NHK-G) – Pioneer of television in Japan, it began its broadcasts on 1 February 1953. Its offer is general and public service.
  • NHK Educational TV(NHK-E) – Educational and cultural channel, designed especially for children. It has been broadcasting since 10 January 1959.

All of them can also be tuned through the Internet, within the national territory. It also has one exclusive satellite channel, as well as two in ultra-high definition.

  • NHK BS8K– 8K programming, launched on 1 December 2018.

License fee

[edit]

NHK is funded by reception fees(Thụ tín liêu,jushinryō),a system analogous to thelicense feeused in some English-speaking countries. The Broadcasting Act which governs NHK's funding stipulates anyone with equipment able to receive NHK must pay. The fee is standardized,[23]with discounts for office workers and students who commute, as well a discount for residents ofOkinawa prefecture.For viewers making annual payments by credit card with no special discounts, the reception fee is 13,600 yen per year for terrestrial reception only, and 24,090 yen per year for both terrestrial and broadcast satellite reception.[24]

However, theBroadcasting Actspecifies no punitive actions for nonpayment; as a result, after a rash of NHK-relatedscandalsincluding anaccounting one,the number of people who had not paid the license fee surpassed one million watchers.[citation needed]This incident sparked debate over the fairness of the fee system.[25]In 2006, the NHK opted to takelegal actionagainst those most flagrantly in violation of the law.[26]

This fee and how it is charged is unpopular with some citizens. This led to the formation of theNHK Party(NHK đảng,NHK tō),[27]also known as N-Koku(N quốc),[28]asingle-issue political party,which has protested this fee with representatives in theupper house.

TV programming

[edit]

NHK broadcasts a variety of programming.

In his bookBroadcasting Politics in Japan: NHK and Television News,Ellis S. Krauss states: 'In the 1960s and 1970s, external critics of NHK news were complaining about the strict neutrality, the lack of criticism of the government, and the 'self-regulation in covering events'. Krauss claims that little had changed by the 1980s and 1990s.[29]After theFukushima nuclear disasterin 2011, NHK was criticised for underplaying the dangers fromradioactive contamination.[failed verification]

Emergency reporting

Under the Broadcasting Act, NHK is under the obligation to broadcast early warning emergency reporting in times of natural disasters such as earthquakes andtsunamis.Their national network of seismometers in cooperation with theJapan Meteorological Agencymakes NHK capable of deliveringearthquake early warningsseconds after detection, as well as a more detailed report withShindointensity measurements within two-to-three minutes after the quake. They also broadcast air attack warnings in the event of war, using theJ-Alertsystem.[30]

Employee and internal issues

[edit]

Insider trading ban

[edit]

In 2007, three employees of NHK were fined and fired forinsider trading.They had profited by trading shares based on exclusive NHK knowledge.[36]

On 11 July 2008, NHK introduced a ban prohibiting stock trading by employees, numbering around 5,700, who had access to its internal news information management system. The employees were required to pledge in writing that they would not trade in stocks, and were required to gain approval from senior staff to sell shares they already held. NHK banned short-term stock trading completed in periods of six months or less for all other employees.[37]

The ban did not extend to employees' families, nor did NHK request any reports on their transactions.[36]

Overwork death

[edit]

On 24 July 2013, a reporter at NHK Metropolitan Broadcasting Center died ofcongestive heart failure.In May 2014, the Shibuya Labor Standards Inspection Office of the Tokyo Labor Bureau certified it as akarōshi(overwork death). Although NHK did not report on this matter, it was announced in October 2017. Ryōichi Ueda, the chairman of NHK, visited the reporter's parents' home and apologized to them.[38][39][40][41]

On-air issues

[edit]

Criticism over comments about Japanese wartime history

[edit]

NHK has occasionally faced various criticisms for its treatment of Japan's wartime history.[42]

Katsuto Momii(籾 tỉnh thắng nhân),the 21st Director-General of NHK, caused controversy[43][44]by discussing Japan's actions inWorld War IIat his first press conference after being appointed on 20 December 2013. It was reported that Momii said NHK should support the Japanese government in its territorial dispute with China and South Korea.[45]He also caused controversy by what some describe as the playing down of thecomfort womenissue in World War II, according to theTaipei Times,stating, "[South] Korea's statements that Japan is the only nation that forced this are puzzling. 'Give us money, compensate us', they say, but since all of this was resolved by the Japan–Korea peace treaty, why are they reviving this issue? It's strange."[46]It was subsequently reported byThe Japan Timesthat on his first day at NHK Momii asked members of the executive team to hand in their resignation on the grounds they had all been appointed by his predecessor.[47]

A number of civil society groups protested against Momii's continued tenure as Director-General of NHK.[48]On 27 January 2014,[49]the Viewers' Community to Observe and Encourage NHK(NHKを giam thị ・ kích lệ する thị thính giả コミュニティ)issued a public letter calling for Momii's resignation on the grounds that the remarks he made at his inaugural press conference were explosive. The letter stated that if Momii did not resign by the end of April, its members would freeze their licence fee payments for half a year.[48]While Momii did not resign, he was not reappointed and retired after serving only one term of three years.[50]

On 17 October 2014,The Timesclaimed to have received internal NHK documents which banned any reference to theNanjing Massacre,to Japan's use of wartime sex slaves during World War II, and to its territorial dispute with China in its English-language broadcasting.[51]

Black Lives Matter video

[edit]

On 10 June 2020, NHK apologized and took down an 80-second video about theBlack Lives Matter movementandGeorge Floyd proteststhat was criticized for its "crude" animation of protesters and its focus on economic inequality rather than police brutality.[52][53][54]An official statement signed by Yuichi Tabata, head of NHK's International News Division, was released through NHK's official website.[55]

Olympics documentary claims

[edit]

On 9 January 2022, NHK issued an apology over false allegations made in DirectorNaomi Kawase's Tokyo Olympics documentary. Kawase was selected by theIOCin 2018 to cover Japanese reactions to the event and later during theCOVID-19 pandemic.Footage and captions in the documentary alleged that protesters were being paid money to attend anti-Olympics rallies. One of the men interviewed later stated he was "unsure" if he had actually attended any anti-Olympics rallies. NHK Osaka cited "editorial oversights" and "deficiencies in research," issuing an apology. Some anti-Olympic activists demanded that the documentary should be removed. Some activists were concerned that the misinformation was spread by NHK to silence those who opposed the Tokyo Olympics during the pandemic.[56]NHK denied that the footage was deliberately fabricated to mislead the public.[57][58]On 13 January 2022, the NHK Osaka directorTerunobu Maedaapologized during a press conference, admitting that the captions "should not have been included." Once again, he denied that the incident was a fabrication.[59]

COVID-19

[edit]

In December 2023, Japan'sBroadcasting Ethics and Program Improvement Organization(BPO) concluded that NHK had breached broadcasting ethics in its "News Watch 9" program, where people believed to have died fromCOVID-19vaccine injurywere treated as if they had died from COVID-19. Regarding the incident as an inappropriate way of reporting, NHK stated that it would take measures to avoid the repetition of the misconduct.[60]
