CBC Radio (Japan)

CBC Radio (CBCラジオ, CBC Rajio) is the radio subsidiary of Chubu-Nippon Broadcasting, operating as a radio broadcasting station for the Tōkai region (operating only on the Aichi-Mie-Gifu market). Established in 1950, and airing in 1951 as Japan's very-first commercial broadcasting company, it is located inside the CBC Broadcasting Hall in Nagoya, Japan. It is one of the core affiliates of the TBS Radio-led Japan Radio Network.

Since 2013, after 60 years of operating as a combined broadcasting company, the television and radio entities of Chubu-Nippon Broadcasting were spun-off. CBC Television relinquishes the call sign "JOAR-DTV" in a separation agreement with the Ministry of Communications, and currently uses the "JOGX-DTV" call sign. In 2011, CBC Radio, which was then called as "Technovision Co., Ltd.", then a subsidiary of CBC, changed its name to "CBC Radio Co., Ltd.", with its radio license transferred from CBC two years after. As of today, the "JOAR" call signs remain with CBC Radio.

In terms of affiliation, it is a core JRN full-network station,and also one of the 4 stations in the country to only be affiliated with the network. Other JRN-only affiliates are key-stations TBS Radio (Flagship) & RKB Radio, and non-core JRN station RBC iRadio.
