This is comparable to how Okayama and Kagawa and Tottori and Shimane became combined markets in 1979 and 1972 respectively. Especially since Tottori and Shimane are the least populated in Japan. Simply the owner of the channel is awarded licenses in adjacent areas. In practice Kyowakai Hoso for example works with 3 different licenses, one in each region. KH is based in one region and in the others it has offices and a studio for local news. It's like when RBS worked in Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul.
