**Tochigi Broadcasting** (栃木放送, *Tochigi Hōsō*) is a [Japanese](/source/Japan) radio station covering [Tochigi Prefecture](/source/Tochigi_Prefecture). It uses the **JOXF** calls and its name is derived from the initials of its former name, Company Radio Tochigi.

## History

The station started broadcasting on April 1, 1963 (simultaneously with [Ibaraki Broadcasting System](/source/LuckyFM_Ibaraki_Broadcasting_System)) on 1530kc (moved to 1062kHz in 1978). It was initially independent before joining the [National Radio Network](/source/National_Radio_Network_(Japan)) in 1978.

On November 29, 2016, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications began planning on subsidies to install an FM transmitter network for the station.[1] A full license wasn't obtained until December 26, 2017,[2] while regular broadcasts from the Utsunomiya FM station did not start until December 28.[3] On August 1, 2018, the Ashikaga/Katsura FM relay station opened, followed by Imaichi on August 2 and Shiobara on August 3.[4]

The system of the main AM station suffered a failure at 9:42pm on July 1, 2018, due to abnormal voltage, knocking it off the air. No anomaly was detected on its AM and FM relay stations. The problem was solved at 5:27am the following morning.[5] A tripartite agreement with [Radio Fukushima](/source/Radio_Fukushima) and IBS was signed on September 1, 2020, for joint collaboration regarding disasters and non-disaster content.[6][7]
