Article ImagesThe TV Tokyo Holdings Corporation[a] (TXHD) is a Japanese media holding company. The company consists 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 broadcast 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 owned by Nikkei, Inc., which owns 32.64% of the company's shares.

Since other Kanto 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 subsidiaties, TV Tokyo is the only Kanto broadcaster to keep its corporate functions after the merger with TXBB and BS Japan was completed, due to the channel'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.
History
On March 29, 2010, TV Tokyo, TV Tokyo Broadband and BS Japan announced that it would form a joint holding company, which would merge its businesses. One of the reasons TXHD was formed was due to the company wanting to improve its management efficiency as well as the emergence of video services in Japan at that time.[1] The merger would be done through a joint stock transfer, rather than a full restructuring of TV Tokyo. On September 1, 2010, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications received preliminary approval from TV Tokyo, BS Japan and TV Tokyo Broadband to merge.[2] That same month, TV Tokyo and TXBB were delisted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange.[3] The company itself was formed on October 1, 2010 with its shares being listed on TSE.[4] On May 30, 2012, TV Tokyo sold InterFM to the Kinoshita Group.[5]
