Abstract
How was radio broadcasting changed after Japan's WWII defeat? And what was not changed?
Seeking the answers to these questions, studies have been conducted, mainly from the perspective of the history of legislative systems such as GHQ's policies on information and education as well as the legislative process of the Broadcast Act. Taking into account these previous studies, this article searches for more intrinsic answers by centering on actual broadcasts sites.
This first installment looks at the process of how NHK, which had come out of the post-war confusion and lethargy, was turned into an “American radio station,” so to speak.
