JORX-DTV (channel 6), branded as TBS Television (TBSテレビ, TBS Terebi), is the flagship station of the Japan News Network in the Kantō region. It is owned-and-operated by Tokyo Broadcasting System Television, Inc.[a], a subsidiary of TBS Holdings. TBS Television is one of the "five private broadcasters based in Tokyo."
TBS produced the game show Takeshi's Castle, which is dubbed and rebroadcast internationally. The channel was also home to Ultraman and the Ultra Series franchise starting in 1966—initially a spinoff of Ultra Q, which was co-produced and broadcast in the same year. Most, if not all, of these series were produced by Tsuburaya Productions for the network. In the 2010s, the Ultra Series moved to TV Tokyo. Since the 1990s, TBS has been the home of Sasuke (Ninja Warrior), whose format inspired similar programs outside Japan. Sasuke itself was a spinoff of the TBS game show Kinniku Banzuke, which ran for seven seasons.
On May 24, 2017, TBS and five other major media firms—TV Tokyo, Nikkei, Inc., WOWOW, Dentsu, and Hakuhodo DY Media Partners announced that they would jointly establish a new company, Paravi, in July to offer paid online video services . TBS Holdings became the largest shareholder of the new company, Premium Platform Japan, with a 31.5% stake. Yasuhiro Takatsuna, an official from TBS Holdings, was appointed as the new company's president.[1][2][3]
