In this, TBS's fiftieth year, our company will take over the licence and commence operations as a sole-purpose radio broadcasting company. Keeping in mind the responsibilities that accompany broadcasting, we will use the fact that the radio can be listened to anywhere and anytime and face the challenges of a new era. Yukio Sunahara, President of TBS comments. TBS, which entered it's fiftieth year this year, began back in 1951 as Radio Tokyo. The broadcast of radio that is closely connected to people's everyday lives is a fundamental tenet of TBS and remains so in the multimedia age we now live in.
Radio broadcasting is a vital part of the group's activities.
I also hope that it will continue to challenge the rest of the group. In addition, a one-hour highlights program will be aired at the end of each stage right through to the final.
