JOBH-DTV (channel 7), branded as TV Osaka (テレビ大阪, TVO), is a Japanese television station serving as the affiliate of the TX Network for the Osaka prefecture. Owned-and-operated by Television Osaka, Inc. (テレビ大阪株式会社, Terebi Ōsaka Kabushiki Gaisha), the station's headquarters and studios are in the Chūō-ku ward of Osaka. [1] Nikkei, Inc. is the biggest shareholder of TVO. [2] The mascot character is "Takoru-kun" (たこるくん).
