"TV Tokyo Ident History" made by TR3X PR0DÚCTÍ0NS, 15/11/2023.
JOTX-DTV (channel 7), branded as TV Tokyo (テレビ東京, Terebi Tōkyō), is a Japanese television station that serves as the flagship of the TX Network. The tv station is owned and operated by TV Tokyo Corporation, a subsidiary of TV Tokyo Holdings Corporation that is in turn a subsidiary of Nikkei, Inc. TV Tokyo was established by the Japan Science Foundation in 1951, which later started broadcasting as the Science TV Tokyo channel on 12th April 1964; it took its name from its VHF frequency channel 12. In July 1968, the network rebranded as Tokyo Channel 12 Production, which was established with the help of the Nikkei and Mainichi Broadcasting System; the name TV Tokyo began to be used by 1981, when the channel was renamed to Television Tokyo Channel 12, Ltd. The network has a station mascot called Nanana (ナナナ), a cartoon banana with eyes, a nose, and a mouth which is bent into a seven. Lastly, this tv station is one of the five private broadcasters based in Tokyo, and is also part of the Japan Consortium, which covers the Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup.
I first discovered TV Tokyo from a logo capture No. Entertainment uploaded in mid 2017 (the 1981-85 ident), and I did not check out their idents until yesterday, when I saw that they had a new logo on Logopedia. This might be my last video on the channel for a while, since I will be working on other projects, but I might be back soon with the second part of Canada Logo Compilation (movie logos), so stay tuned.
