Japan’s television system is built around NHK’s public broadcasting and commercial networks centered on Tokyo-based key stations. NHK provides national and regional services, while Nippon TV, TBS, TV Asahi, Fuji Television, and TV Tokyo serve the Kanto region and connect with affiliated stations across Japan. Japanese is the principal language of domestic television, and NHK WORLD-JAPAN provides an English-language international service. News, weather, and disaster information are also supported by specialized services associated with major broadcasters and media organizations.
