History

Hiroshima Telecasting was the second commercial television station in Hiroshima Prefecture. The founding shareholders' meeting was held on January 16, 1962. Construction of the headquarters building began on May 25 of the same year and was completed on August 26. When it was first established, Hiroshima Television was a dual affiliate of Nippon Television and Fuji Television. On August 29, Hiroshima TV launched a test signal. [2] : 112 

At 11 a.m. on September 1, 1962, Hiroshima Television officially started broadcasting. [2] : 113  In its first fiscal year, Hiroshima TV had a turnover of 435.22 million yen and a profit of 46.2 million yen. [2] : 114  In 1963, Hiroshima Television established a labor union. [2] : 114  In 1965, Hiroshima Television achieved its first production abroad and produced a documentary documenting immigrants from Hiroshima Prefecture who were active in foreign countries. [2] : 68  In the same year, due to insufficient space due to increased business volume, Hiroshima TV expanded its headquarters. [2] : 117  On April 1, 1969, Hiroshima Television launched a new logo. [2] : 121  On December 10 of the same year, the new Hiroshima Television Headquarters was completed. [2] : 121  In this fiscal year, Hiroshima TV's turnover exceeded 1 billion yen for the first time, reaching 1.17739 billion yen; profit also reached 272.38 million yen. [2] : 122  In fiscal year 1974, Hiroshima Television's turnover exceeded 2 billion yen, reaching 2.20318 billion yen; but its profit decreased slightly to 263.48 million yen. [2] : 129 

Hiroshima Television began construction of the second-generation headquarters building on December 9, 1974, [2] : 129  and completed it on November 12, 1976. [2] : 131  With the launch of TV Shinhiroshima on October 1, 1975, Hiroshima Television withdrew from the Fuji Television Network and became a fully affiliated station of the Nippon Television Network. [2] : 70  Hiroshima Television's turnover in fiscal year 1976 reached 4.36221 billion yen, nearly doubling within two years; however, due to intensified competition due to the launch of the new station, profits further decreased to 112.78 million yen. [2] : 133  On December 1, 1979, Hiroshima Television began broadcasting stereo programs. [2] : 137  On January 1, 1982, in the year of the 20th anniversary of its launch, Hiroshima TV launched a new logo. [2] : 147 

The new Hiroshima Television Station "Hirotele Plaza" (広テレプラザ) was completed and opened in 1992. [3] From 1994 to 1998, Hiroshima TV won the triple crown in ratings for five consecutive years. [3] Hiroshima Television began broadcasting digital television signals on October 1, 2006 [4] and stopped broadcasting analog television signals on July 24, 2011. [3] Hiroshima Television began construction of a new headquarters on the north side of Hiroshima Station in 2016 and moved into the new headquarters in 2018. The new headquarters building has 11 floors, of which the first to third floors are spaces open to the public. [5] As of 2020, Hiroshima TV has won the triple crown in ratings for 8 consecutive years. [6] In 2021, Hiroshima TV also won the quadruple crown in ratings. [7]
