NHK will be reducing the number of channels from three to two in April 2026 (R1, R2, FM → New AM, New FM).
This reduction will force NHK to cut many programs.
As a result, it ceased broadcasting the FM radio program “Radio Midnight (Shinyabin) ” on September 29, 2025.
Until then, the program had been broadcast at 11:05 PM on the AM channel and 2:05 AM on the FM channel.
