Japan's first experimental television broadcast was made by scientists in 1939, but the Pacific War shut down research on television, and interest did not re-emerge until the early 1950s, when two stations, NHK(Nippon Hoso Kyokai) and NTV(Nippon Television) began broadcasting.
The public broadcastingsystem, NHK, began as Japan's first radio network in 1926, as part of the pre-war government's efforts to control and censor the fledgling efforts of radio.
The New Year, in particular, (celebrated on January 1 according to the Western rather than the Chinese system), is the occasion for a three-day televisual marathon of special events, including the famous Red vs. White singing contest, which pits popular male and female singing stars from a variety of genres against each other.
NipponBroadcasting has attempted to block Livedoor's further acquisition of its shares and recently issued equity warrant rights to parent Fuji Television Network which could dilute the 40 percent stake in Nippon which Livedoor has already acquired.
Horie has sought a temporary injunction to block the move arguing the issue violated the law because it was designed to thwart competition in the market.
NipponBroadcasting's primary asset is a 22.5 percent stake in Fuji, making it the largest shareholder and the most profitable of Japan's five nationwide commercial television networks.
