History
The company was registered in 1969 and started broadcasting on June 1, 1970.[2] The station's first president was Toshio Mori, who turned on its signal at the control room on launch day.[3] At one point in the 1970s, before the 1981 formation of JFN, 95% of its programming consisted of music programming; the most predominant themes at the time were "movie themes, foreign pop music, mood music, foreign folk music and Japanese pop music". Most listeners were in their twenties and had a fast-growing female audience.[4]
In August 2001, the station took part in an internet video streaming experiment, QGPOP, using RealNetworks software.[5]
