History
In 1949, a movement to enable the creation of a private radio station in Fukui Prefecture emerged. Following the 1950 approval of the Three Radio Laws (Radio Law, Broadcasting Law, and Radio Supervisory Committee Establishment Law), Fukui Broadcasting obtained a preliminary license on April 21, 1951, becoming one of the first 16 private radio licenses in Japan. == References ==
