J-Wave airs mostly music, covering a wide range of formats. The station is considered the most popular among FM broadcasts in Tokyo,[1] and has surprised the radio broadcast industry by gaining a higher popularity rate than an AM station (JOQR) in a survey conducted in June 2008.[2]  J-Wave was founded in October 1988 with the callsign of JOAV-FM. It is a member station of the Japan FM League (JFL) commercial radio network.[3]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Table of ContentsFeatures[edit]History[edit]Navigators (DJs)[edit]Programs[edit]Tokio Hot 100[edit]Others[edit]Song of the year (Slam Jam)[edit]External links[edit]Features[edit]J-WAVE’s slogan is “The Best Music on the Planet.” The DJs are known as “navigators” (\u30ca\u30d3\u30b2\u30fc\u30bf\u30fc, nabig\u0113t\u0101). The music format can be considered a Japanese equivalent of the Western concept of Top 40 or CHR radio.Hundreds of different jingles separate programs from commercials; they are generally played at the same decibel level and are variations on a single melody.[citation needed]  J-Wave has been broadcast via satellite since 1994 and some of its programs also air on some community radio stations in Japan.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4History[edit]On December 10, 1987,  J-WAVE was incorporated and started test broadcasts on the FM band at 81.3\u00a0MHz on August 1, 1988. On October 1 of that year at 5:00\u00a0a.m., it started transmission from Tokyo Tower. J-Wave was the 27th FM radio station nationwide to launch at that time, and the second in Tokyo. The name \u201dJ-WAVE\u201d originally derived from a record shop WAVE in Roppongi, which also belonged to “Saison Group”.  While other radio stations focused more on presentation, J-WAVE adopted a “more music less talk” format. The station had a large fanbase because of its unusual programming style, playing music non-stop except for jingles and breaks for news, traffic and weather. The law in Japan at that time stipulated that programming had to be maximum 80% music, and minimum 20% talk and continuity. J-WAVE coined the term “J-pop”, which is only vaguely defined but led to the eventual mirror term, K-pop. However, as the years went by, the station lost influence. Sponsor after sponsor pulled their ads because of the growing irrelevance of the programming to what they were selling.Around 1995, J-WAVE hired new personalities in an attempt to rejuvenate itself. Its term “J-POP” became synonymous with commercially palatable Japanese music from across the spectrum, except for traditional Japanese music. Specials started to air around this time, and the station took steps to attract a listener base desirable for higher ad revenues.The format J-WAVE introduced to Japan, “more music less talk” almost disappeared during reorganization in early 1997, when DJ banter became more pronounced.On October 1, 2003, J-WAVE moved its head office to the 33rd floor of the Roppongi Hills Mori Tower in Minato, Tokyo.On April 23, 2012, J-WAVE moved its transmitting station at Tokyo Tower to the Tokyo Sky Tree with new transmission power of 7 kilowatts with an ERP of 57 kilowatts. Before the move, the transmission power was 10 kilowatts with an ERP of 44 kilowatts.Today, J-WAVE has changed dramatically since its first broadcast. The station acquired a solid listener base who were less interested in a pretense of social rebellion. Nonetheless, J-Wave has never hit the No. 1 rank in ratings in the last ten years[when?] in the Tokyo region.Navigators (DJs)[edit](1988-1993) Popular Navigators with “obis”, or daily shows, on J-Wave include:Programs[edit]Tokio Hot 100[edit]J-WAVE has set up its own airplay charts,[4] which tallies the songs were played the most during that week on its own station. Note: These should not be confused with the Japanese single charts, Oricon, which has its own national airplay charts.[5]There is also a TV version shown on MTV Japan.[6]Others[edit]Song of the year (Slam Jam)[edit]External links[edit]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/j-wave-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"J-Wave – Wikipedia"}}]}]
