[edit] Chronology

NHK was started in 1926, modeled after the BBC radio company.

??

In 1926, the BBC was a private company (the British Broadcasting Company). The state-chartered British Broadcasting Corporation (if it was the model for NHK) did not come into existence until 1927. Does anyone have any more precise details on NHK chronology? -- Picapica 20:21, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Old NHK did start in 1926. It was re-chartered in 1950, so NHK as it's known today goes back to 1950. That's where the confusion comes from.--76.21.81.118 00:46, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notable programs

I'd like to see some non-anime notable programs in the list. If anyone with more knowledge of NHK's offerings could step up and add some, I'd appreciate it. --Zippy 23:20, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Most of the notable programs are generically described in the "TV Programming" section. I don't think it means much to list news shows and sumo sportscast shows by title. News, serial dramas, and music shows are in fact NHK's most popular shows.--76.21.81.118 00:46, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Need information on NHK domestic radio

Could someone please provide a description of NHK's domestic radio services? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.20.8.70 (talk) 17:21, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Section on Viewer Fees needs cleaning up

The section explaining the background of the viewer fee system and its controversy is very Engrishy in its wording, and needs cleaning up as well as citations of sources. Regrettably some nonpayers are mannerless sounds like NHK's opinion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by The2belo (talk • contribs) 06:04, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
