MY'STORY

The MOVE Fire

This is a personal recollection on the Move fire on May 13, 1985 Philadelphia police fired thousands of rounds at the MOVE house, city officials approved dropping an explosive device on the roof, the resulting fire was allowed to burn, 11 people—including five children—died, and 61 homes were destroyed. Philadelphia City Council later called it a “brutal attack carried out by the City of Philadelphia on its own citizens” and acknowledged that no individual faced criminal consequences for the bombing. One timeline correction worth preserving for the BHP record: the major previous MOVE-police confrontation was August 8, 1978, about seven years before the bombing, not a year or two earlier. Officer James Ramp was killed, other police and firefighters were wounded, nine MOVE members were later convicted, and television cameras recorded police beating Delbert Africa during his arrest. The 1985 MOVE Commission later specifically criticized city planners for failing to adequately use lessons from that 1978 confrontation. And that actually strengthens the point you’re making: 1985 did not happen without precedent or institutional memory. There had already been a deadly confrontation with MOVE, years of conflict, negotiations and police involvement before Osage Avenue.

History

[edit]

On December 15, 1978, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications allocated FM frequencies to the Hokkaido, Miyagi, Shizuoka and Hiroshima prefectures, nearly a decade after the launch of the first four commercial FM stations in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka.[3] On August 1, 1980, the regulator approved the merger of the bids for the license.[4] The company was founded in 1981, aiming to produce 50% of its programming locally[4] On July 17, 1981, it obtained a preliminary license for the main station in Sapporo;[5] then on April 16, 1982, for the relay station in Asahikawa.[6] The station started broadcasting on September 15, 1982, initially only in Sapporo and Hakodate, however it established new relays in successive years to cover the whole island.

On April 6, 1992, coinciding with its tenth anniversary, the station adopted Air-G' as its commercial name.[7]

In March 2023, it opened a satellite studio (F Studio) at Es Con Field Hokkaido.[8] On October 25, it took part in a ten-day remote monitoring test with Television Hokkaido, the TV station's technical unit and Hokkaido Telecommunication Network (HOTnet) enabling the station's operations to be monitored remotely from TVH's own control room.On October 25, it participated in a ten-day remote monitoring test in which Television Hokkaido, the station’s technical division, and Hokkaido Telecommunication Network (HOTnet) enabled the station’s operations to be monitored remotely from TVH’s control room.[9] This became permanent on December 1, 2024; the aim is to improve operational efficiency while addressing labor shortage issues.[10]
