Completed in 1969, it was the largest and most powerful of the Central Broadcasting System’s branch stations, with a sprawling compound occupying approximately 7.3 hectares surrounded by guard posts and a moat.

Immediately to the north is a gated dormitory area (鹿港央廣宿舍區) that once provided housing for 50 station staff and their families.
