All-Nippon News Network (ANN; Japanese : オールニッポンニュース・ネットワーク, romanized: Ōrunippon Nyūsu Nettowāku) is a Japanese commercial television network run by TV Asahi Corporation (TV Asahi) in Tokyo, a subsidiary of the TV Asahi Holdings Corporation, which is controlled by The Asahi Shimbun Company. The network's responsibilities include the syndication of national television news bulletins to its regional affiliates, and the news exchange between the stations. Its affiliate stations also broadcast non-news programs originating from TV Asahi. Founded on 1 January 1970, [1] : 161–163  and formalised on 1 April 1974, ANN is made up of 26 affiliates, including two stations that are double- or triple-affiliated with rival networks.

Contents

Between 1989 and 2013, it also operated the 24-hour satellite and cable news channel Asahi Newstar.

List of affiliates

Stations are listed mostly in the Japanese order of prefectures, which is mirrored in ISO 3166-2:JP, with exceptions for the Kantō region, the Aichi-Gifu-Mie area, the Kansai region (except Mie) and the Okayama-Kagawa area, which each form single wide broadcasting markets respectively.

  7. ↑ Now fully affiliated to NNN/NNS due to ATV's withdrawal of ANN. [3] Dropped with launch of ABA on 1 October 1991.

  10. ↑ Secondary affiliation. Akita TV partially dropped its ANN affiliation (ANN news programs no longer aired) on 1 April 1987, to focus on airing more Fuji TV programmes. [5] : 22  Between 1 April 1987 and 30 September 1992, AKT and ABS shared on airing select TV Asahi programmes. AKT and ABS completely dropped its ANN affiliation when AAB started broadcasting on 1 October 1992. [6] : 18
