Fuji Television Network, Inc AKA Fuji TV (Fuji Terebi, フジテレビ, or CX for short) is a Japanese television station based in Odaiba, Minato, Tokyo, Japan.note  It is the flagship station of the Fuji News Network (FNN) and the Fuji Network System. The station (call sign JOCX-TV on channel 8 until analog shutdown in 2011, JOCX-DTV on channel 21 since) has been on the air since 1959. The station originally had a "family friendly" image and was known for its early support of TV anime, with early hits including Astro Boy, Kimba the White Lion, Speed Racer, Mazinger Z and the World Masterpiece Theater franchise. However, the station's overall low ratings during the 1970s led to a refocus on comedy in the early 1980s, with a new Catchphrase, "If it's not fun, it's not TV!"note  The rebrand boosted the station's ratings and led to the development of many of the comedy anime series which became well loved around the world. In recent years, however, the station has retreated into the ratings dumpster, with even TV Tokyo, Japan's smallest TV network, outrating it at times.

Fuji Television also operates three premium television stations, known as "Fuji TV One" ("Fuji TV 739"—sports/variety), "Fuji TV Two" ("Fuji TV 721"—drama/anime), and "Fuji TV Next" ("Fuji TV CSHD"—live premium shows) (called together as "Fuji TV OneTwoNext"), all available in high-definition. It is owned by Fuji Media Holdings, Inc., the holding company of the Fujisankei Communications Group.
