RSK Sanyo Broadcasting Co., Ltd. (RSK山陽放送株式会社, Āruesukē San'yō Hōsō Kabushikigaisha) is a Japanese television and radio broadcaster in Okayama and Kagawa. The abbreviation, RSK originates in the former name in Japanese (ラジオ山陽株式会社, Radio San'yō Kabushikigaisha). It is affiliated with Japan Radio Network (JRN), National Radio Network (NRN), and Japan News Network (JNN).

Due to its connections with flagship TBS, RSK joined JRN as one of its first members of the network on May 2, 1965, making Sanyo Hōsō a JRN-only station, serving on the Okayama part of the market. In October 1997, after years of being a single JRN affiliate, RSK joined NRN, becoming the last radio station to join the network, expanding its programming with All Night Nippon and NPB games. Because of this, the Okayama-Takamatsu markets have 2 radio stations dually-affiliated with JRN and NRN, with RNC, initially an NRN-only affiliate, joining JRN on the same year, serving the Kagawa part of the market.
