History of TV Asahi


TV Asahi began as on November 1, 1957. It was established as a for-profit educational television channel, which was (and still is) quite rare in the world 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 it's airtime to children's 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 programs 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???).

Seven years later, in 1967, NET aired its first colour broadcast programme.

NET's transformation into a general-purpose television station was complete by November 1973, when NET, along with educational channel "Channel 12" (now TV Tokyo

Tokyo

The twenty-three special wards of Tokyo, each governed as a city, cover the area that was once the Tokyo City in the eastern part of the prefecture, and total over 8 million people....
 applied and received a general purpose television station license. At the same time, NET renamed itself to NET General Television (???NET?), and was renamed as on April 1, 1977.

In 1996, TV Asahi established the , 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, tv asahi moved its head office from its Ark Hills Studio to Roppongi Hills
Roppongi Hills

is one of Japan's largest integrated property developments, located in the Roppongi district of Minato, Tokyo, Tokyo.Constructed by building tycoon Minoru Mori, the mega-complex incorporates office space, apartments, shops, restaurants, caf?s, movie theaters, a museum, a hotel, a major TV studio, an outdoor amphitheater, and a few parks....
, and the station was renamed "TV Asahi Corporation", with the name presented as "tv asahi" on-screen.

The transmission of international aquatics competitions, World Cup football matches, and creation of popular late-night TV programs contributed to a rise in ratings for TV Asahi, and lifted the TV station from its popularly ridiculed "perpetual fourth place" finish into second place, right behind Fuji TV, by 2005.

Idents and station brand

TV Asahi's current ident sets and station branding were created by UK design collective Tomato (some members works as the electronic music group Underworld
Underworld (band)

) along with Asahi's in-house design department in 2003. It comprises a set of computer-generated "sticks", which changes in colour and movement along with the background music that accompanies the idents. Normally, the station branding on-screen appears as either "/tv asahi" or "tv asahi\". The fonts used by Asahi on its fonts are Akzidenz Grotesk Bold (for the English part),and ?????????(W8) (for Japanese).
