The FEBC international broadcast station on Saipan in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands was established about 1981 and closed in 2011.[17] The local radio station, KSAI 936 AM, was on air for 24 years until shutting down on April 30, 2002.[18] KSAI was initially established in Saipan by the United States Office of War Information (OWI) in June 1945.[19][20]

[edit]

There was an FEBC station in Okinawa starting in 1958. After the reversion agreement, the station became a commercial operation (Kyokuto Hoso Radio) as religious broadcasters were forbidden under the Law on Special Measures for the Reversion of Okinawa. Per a decision taken by the Diet of Japan in 1983, the station shut down in 1984.[21]
