TV Tokyo Holdings
The is a Japanese media holding company headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, consisting of TV Tokyo Corporation, one of Japan's main five commercial broadcasters, TV Tokyo Communications, which provides the group's internet and streaming services and BS TV Tokyo, which acts as the Broadcasting Satellite channel of the group. TV Tokyo also runs the TX Network, Japan's smallest station network consisting of TV Tokyo themselves, serving the wider Kanto region, alongside five affiliates in five prefectures in Japan. The company was formed on October 1, 2010, with the merger of TV Tokyo, TV Tokyo Broadband and BS Japan. Previously, TV Tokyo had shares in the latter two. The company is partially controlled by Nikkei, Inc., which owns 32.64% of the company's shares.
Since other broadcasters such as Fuji Television, TBS, Nippon Television and TV Asahi were restructured as the corporate functions were moved to certified holding company statuses with the broadcasting operations taken over by wholly owned subsidiaries, TV Tokyo is the only broadcaster in Japan to keep its corporate functions after the merger with TXBB and BS Japan was completed, due to the broadcaster's relationship with Nikkei as well as having only six affiliates in its network, which also held shares in TV Tokyo and the affiliates themselves.
