History
Launch as radio broadcaster
There were initial attempts to establish a commercial broadcaster in the prefecture in December 1947, which was then supported with the passage of the "Three Radio Laws" (Radio Law, Broadcasting Law, and Radio Supervisory Committee Establishment Law) in 1950.<ref name=":0">Template:Cite book</ref>Template:Rp
At that time, there were competition for private broadcasting license between Radio Tohoku (not related to the former name of Akita Broadcasting), an unnamed local newspaper in Aomori, and Tohoku Broadcasting.<ref name=":0" />Template:Rp In April 1953, Tohoku Radio and Tohoku Broadcasting made a settlement, and Tohoku Broadcasting cancelled its application for a broadcasting license in Aomori Prefecture, and the two cooperated fully.<ref name=":0" />Template:Rp In August of the same year, Radio Tohoku received its broadcasting license which was then renamed to Radio Aomori on September 26.<ref name=":0" />Template:Rp
Radio Aomori was then established on September 30, 1953.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> A day before its establishment, they conducted trial radio broadcasts.<ref name=":0" />Template:Rp On October 12, 1953, Radio Aomori officially started broadcasting.<ref name=":0" />Template:Rp Upon its launch, Radio Aomori wasn't receivable to southern parts of the prefecture.<ref name=":0" />Template:Rp This was later resolved when the Hirosaki relay transmitter was opened in 1956.<ref name=":0" />Template:Rp According to a survey conducted by the local government of Aomori Prefecture in 1957, Radio Aomori accounted for 76.2% in audience share compared to NHK Radio 1's 21%.<ref name=":0" />Template:Rp

RAB started color TV broadcasting in 1966<ref name=":0" />Template:Rp and expanded to uninterrupted sign-on to sign-off broadcasts in May 1970.<ref name=":0" />Template:Rp On April 1, 1975, RAB started airing TV Asahi programming as it joined the All-Nippon News Network after Aomori Television withdrew from being an ANN affiliate.<ref name=":0" />Template:Rp RAB then withdrew from airing ANN programming when Asahi Broadcasting Aomori opened on October 1, 1991, and continued to air Fuji TV programming.<ref name=":0" />Template:Rp
