OwnerMBS Media Holdings

MBS Radio (MBSラジオ, Emubīesu Rajio) is an AM radio station based in Osaka, Japan. It is wholly owned by MBS Radio, a subsidiary of MBS Media Holdings.

It is a member station of Japan Radio Network (JRN) and National Radio Network (NRN).

Prior to 2021, the station was directly owned by MBS alongside its television division. A 2021 restructuring caused MBS to spin off its radio division under a separate subsidiary.
