The RNK building was affected by the Niigata fire of October 1, 1955.
On December 21, 1958, in the anticipation for the start of television broadcasts four days later, RNK broadcast I Want to Be a Shellfish, a fictionalization of the suicide memoirs of Tetsutaro Kato in 1944. The play was broadcast on October 31 the same year in Kanto.
