Overview

The new television stations established in this period, all on the UHF band, corresponded to a "government plan for prefectures across Japan to have a limit of four commercial television stations", and for radio, a two-frequency (1 AM station + 1 FM station) policy, cooperating with flagship stations, newspaper companies (national and local newspapers), etc. established in various places, all on the FM band.

On October 1, 1989, TV Hokkaido (TVh), TV-U Yamagata (TUY), Kumamoto Asahi Broadcasting (KAB) were the first TV stations to open in the era, this sequence continued until Tochigi Television opened on April 1, 1999. At that time, there were few complete affiliates of the ANN, many stations were opened as its affiliates. On radio, this corresponds to the period after the start of FM Yamagata on April 1, 1989.

Community broadcasting was massified during the Heisei era, and it falls into the category of the new Heisei station from the time of FM doruka, which was opened as the first station.

The concept basically does not have a dual-affiliate setup (like most stations founded during the Showa era), but many of the areas where such stations opened do not have a TV Tokyo affiliate, instead resorting to program sales. However, like the long-established stations, the sponsor part has been replaced with a spot. In addition, some stations sell and purchase programs other than TV Tokyo (due to poor maintenance of relay stations, it is very often excluded, so the frequency is small).

List of stations Radio Most of the stations were allocated radio waves all at once in the late Showa era, and the meaning is different from the new Heisei TV stations, but here I listed the stations that opened after the beginning of the Heisei era. All AM stations finished starting by 1963.

☆ is available on radiko. ★ is a station that was broadcasting nationwide until March 31, 2012, with radiko.jp's recovery support project.
