TV Kochi Broadcasting (テレビ高知, Terebi Kōchi), also known as KUTV (Kochi UHF TeleVision), is a television network headquartered in Kōchi Prefecture, Japan.[1] It is affiliated with the Japan News Network. [2] TV Kochi founded in 1969, and started broadcasting in 1970.[3]
History
KUTV was established in 1969 and initially planned to join the Japan News Network as a charter affiliate. NTV affiliate Kochi Broadcasting started JNN's news bulletins in the morning ahead of the station's launch. This led to a period of indecision where the station almost became a charter affiliate of the Fuji News Network and Fuji Network System, with RKC likely joining JNN. A proposal was made in January 1970, but TBS rejected it under the grounds that it was planning an affiliation with the new station instead.[4]: 258
KUTV started digital terrestrial television broadcasting in 2006, and ended analog television broadcasting in 2011.[5][6] In 2015, KUTV re-built its headquarter building.[7]
