Nankai Broadcasting Company, Ltd (南海放送株式会社, Nankai Hōsō Kabushiki-gaisha), also known as RNB, is a Japanese regional broadcasting company based in Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture. The broadcaster's radio division JOAF is affiliated with the Japan Radio Network and the National Radio Network while its television division JOAF-DTV (channel 4) is affiliated with the Nippon News Network and the Nippon Television Network System. Both stations serve said prefecture and its studios and headquarters are located in the Honmachi ward of Matsuyama.
The initials come from the radio station's former name, Radio Nankai Broadcasting. The company name Nankai is related to the broadcasting area (as in the former Nankaidō region), and has no relation with the Nankai Electric Railway from Osaka.
