RCC Broadcasting Co., Ltd. is a Japanese broadcaster located in Hiroshima, Japan. It is an affiliate of radio networks JRN and NRN, and the television network JNN.

The station can be found at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni in eastern Yamaguchi prefecture, near the border of the Hiroshima prefecture. A subscription is not required to receive their broadcasts.

Despite being a quasi-key affiliate of JNN and JRN outside of the Five-Company Agreement Stations (TBS, HBC, CBC, MBS, RKB), RCC's radio division is a core NRN station, with dedicated lines that are responsible for transmitting NRN programming, including baseball coverages involving Hiroshima Toyo Carp. It is one of 3 JRN-affiliated stations who are core NRN stations, the other 2 being SBS & TBC. It doesn't carry the prefecture's JNN affiliate.
