TV Tokyo's logo as of November 2023 in celebration of the channel's 60th anniversary in 2024
TV Tokyo
is Japan's smallest television network (so small that you can even count the number of stations and their initials with your fingers), famous for their specialization in anime. JOTX-TV in Tokyo began broadcasting in 1964, and was originally called "Tokyo Channel 12"note until 1981 when it adopted its current name.note Beginning as a non-commercial station offering instructional programs to schools a la America's PBS, it later became a commercial, general-interest/entertainment station and the flagship station of the TXN networknote , which opened stations in Osaka (TV Osaka), Nagoya (TV Aichi), Okayama (TV Setouchi), Sapporo (TV Hokkaido) and Fukuoka (TVQnote ) between 1982 and 1991, later adding a satellite/cable station (AT-X) in 1997. Controlled by Nikkei Inc., which publishes the economical newspaper The Nikkeinote best known for its Nikkei 225 stock index, it also focuses on more "alternative" content that isn't picked up by the other networks, including travel and business news.
Some shows are produced by other TXN stations, especially TV Osaka and TV Aichi. Due to the network's small number of affiliates, many of its shows have historically been aired by affiliates of rival networks in smaller cities.
