History of tv asahi

tv asahi started out as "Nihon Educational Television Co., Ltd." (NET, 株式会社日本教育テレビ) in 1957. It was established as a for-profit educational television channel, which was (and still is) quite rare in the television industry. At the time, its broadcasting license dictates that the network is required to devote at least 50% of its airtime to educational programming, and at least 30% of is airtime to children educational programming.

However, the for-profit educational television model eventually proved to be a failure. In 1960, NET began its transformation into a general-purpose television station. It began to broadcast manga cartoons and foreign movies. So as not to run afoul of the educational TV license requirements, NET justified the airing of these programmes under the pretext of "nurturing a child's emotional range" and "introduction of foreign cultures". At the same time, NET also changed its name from "Nihon Educational Television" to "NET TV" (NETテレビ). 1960 (MCMLX) was a leap year starting on Friday (the link is to a full 1960 calendar). ...

NET's transformation into a general-purpose television station was complete by November of 1973, when NET, along with educational channel “Channel 12” (now TV Tokyo) in Tokyo applied and received a general purpose television station license. At the same time, NET renamed itself to NET General Television (総合局NET‎), and was renamed as "Asahi National Broadcasting Company Limited" (全国朝日放送株式会社 Zenkoku Asahi Hōsō Kabushiki-gaisha?) on April 1, 1977. 1973 (MCMLXXIII) was a common year starting on Monday. ...

In 1996, tv asahi established the All-Nippon News Network (ANN) (オールニッポンニュース・ネットワーク Ōru Nippon Nyūsu Nettowāku?), and began a number of reforms, including the unification of all presentation styles on its regional networks and the creation of a new logo to give asahi the look and feel of a national television network. On October 1, 2003, the head office moved from its ARK Hills Studio to Roppongi Hills (六本木ヒルズ), and the station was renamed "TV Asahi Corporation", with the name presented as "tv asahi" on-screen. 1996 (MCMXCVI) was a leap year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year for the Eradication of Poverty. ...

Japan Media Review -- TV News in Japan: Reporting on Politics or Shaping it? (1449 words)
By comparison, in 1985 TV Asahi, the Asahi News Network's (ANN) "key" station in Tokyo that was responsible for much of the national news for the network, had a total of 190 permanent employees and about 36 additional people who were contracted for services, with about 80 reporters covering the capital region.
For example, the second largest newspaper, the Asahi Shimbun, which some consider the "paper of record" in Japan and the most liberal of the national papers, is partial owner of TV Asahi.
TV Asahi executives felt that it was a mutual relationship of "sharing information." In other words, commercial stations, to at least some extent, rely on external sources, such as the national newspaper that partially owns it, to alert it to the potential "pool" of news stories that day.
