- While there are a number of FM and AM radio stations operating in Japan, the vast majority target the Japanese community. 81.3 J-Wave and 76.1 InterFM both offer some English programming, while the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service provides round the clock broadcasts in English on Eagle 810 AM.For those looking for additional radio service, it’s important to note that while satellite radio does not work in Japan because the orbit of the relevant satellites do not cover the nation, cable radio is a viable option. One of the more prominent cable radio providers is Usen (http://www.usen.com/index.php), which provides access to a number of English, Japanese, and other language channels. Minato & Shinjuku Cable also provide the service at http://www.cabletv.co.jp/english/digital_music_service.html.
