Hokuriku Broadcasting Co., Ltd. (北陸放送株式会社, Hokuriku Hōsō Kabushiki-gaisha), also known as MRO, is a Japanese broadcast network affiliated with the Japan News Network (JNN). Their headquarters is located in Ishikawa Prefecture.
The "MRO" abbreviation is taken from the last letters of the call signs "JOMR" and "JOMO" of the Kanazawa and Nanao broadcasting stations, respectively. JOMO is no longer operational.
MRO functions as the default Japan News Network affiliate for the Fukui Prefecture, as that area doesn't have a JNN affiliate of its own.
