The Japanese Broadcasting Corporation, known as NHK, is Japan's national public broadcasting organization. Established in 1926, it provides a wide range of television and radio services, including news, educational programs, and entertainment. NHK operates several channels, including NHK General TV and NHK Educational TV, catering to diverse audiences across the country. NHK is funded primarily through viewer fees, which allows it to maintain independence from government influence. The organization also offers international services, such as NHK World, which broadcasts news and cultural programs to audiences outside Japan, promoting understanding of Japanese culture and current events.
