AFN Sasebo

AFN Sasebo is an American Forces Network station broadcasting from Sasebo, Japan, providing a vital service to the U.S. military community and local listeners. The station, which officially launched on FM 93.1 in June 2025, offers popular music, news, command information, and critical emergency alerts. You can listen live to its programming, which serves as an important source of news and entertainment, delivering a "touch of home" to service members and their families stationed overseas.

The station's programming includes a mix of contemporary music and essential information tailored for its audience in southern Japan. After relying on streaming services following the dismantling of its AM tower, the station successfully returned to the airwaves with a new FM signal. This allows audiences to stream online for popular music, news, and important safety updates, including alerts for local issues such as typhoons, enhancing community readiness and connectivity.

With its new FM broadcast capability, AFN Sasebo reaches a wide area, overcoming previous technical challenges related to the region's mountainous terrain. The station's live streaming and listen radio online options ensure that its content remains accessible to all, including a significant shadow audience of local Japanese listeners who value the American broadcasts. This service upholds AFN's legacy of connecting and informing its community through reliable radio and digital platforms.
