History
Shizuoka Broadcasting applied for a license on April 20, 1951, and was founded on October 10, 1952, with Mitsunosuke Oishi as its first president.

As Radio Shizuoka, broadcasts started on November 1, 1952, as the seventeenth commercial radio station to open in Japan. Initially it broadcast on 1450kc, but on August 1, 1953, the station moved to 1400kc. On September 12, it applied for a television license. Said station signed on for the first time on November 1, 1958, as the twelfth overall.

The abbreviation, SBS, has been used since September 22, 1960. Color broadcasts started on September 26, 1965, for networked programming and on September 1, 1966, for local programming. On October 1, 1969, less than a year after TV Shizuoka signed on, most of the Fuji TV programming moved to the station as it joined FNS.

On October 3, 2011, SBS joined radiko.
