Overview

Tulip Television is a Japanese commercial television station serving Toyama Prefecture. The station operates under the call sign JOJH-DTV on digital channel 6 and is affiliated with the Japan News Network, the nationwide television network associated with TBS. Its broadcast territory is centered on Toyama Prefecture, with the station based in Toyama city. The station is owned and operated by Tulip-TV, Inc., which uses the Tulip Television name as its public-facing broadcast identity. Tulip Television began broadcasting in 1990, making it one of the regional commercial stations established during the expansion of Japan's private television network system. At launch, the station was located in Takaoka. In 2022, it moved from Takaoka to its current location in Toyama, marking the principal documented change in its physical operating base. As a regional network affiliate, Tulip Television's role is to provide locally relevant reporting and programming for viewers in Toyama while also carrying network programming supplied through the Japan News Network. Public reference material identifies the station primarily through its regional coverage, call sign, channel position, ownership, and network affiliation; detailed information about its corporate history, executives, financial performance, program portfolio, and advertising campaigns is not established in the supplied sources.

History

Tulip Television is a regional Japanese commercial television station serving Toyama Prefecture. It operates under the call sign JOJH-DTV and uses digital channel 6. The station is part of the Japan News Network, a national network through which affiliated broadcasters exchange and receive programming, including content associated with TBS. Tulip Television is owned and operated by Tulip-TV, Inc. The station signed on in 1990. At the beginning of its operations, its facilities were located in Takaoka, a city in Toyama Prefecture. Its launch formed part of the development of Japan's regional private television landscape, in which local broadcasters combined their own reporting and community-oriented programming with programs supplied by a national network. The available reference material does not provide further detail about the station's founding shareholders, launch programming, early executives, or specific corporate milestones. In 2022, Tulip Television moved from Takaoka to its current location in Toyama. This relocation is the clearest documented change in the station's operating history after its launch. The move placed the station's headquarters in Toyama city while preserving its role as a broadcaster for the prefecture. The station's public identity remains associated with the Tulip Television name, while Tulip-TV, Inc. is identified as the operating company. As an active regional broadcaster, Tulip Television's business consists principally of terrestrial television transmission, local news and information programming, regional advertising inventory, and carriage of Japan News Network programming. The supplied sources do not establish a separate portfolio of consumer products, subscription services, major national campaigns, ownership transactions, scandals, or public financial disclosures. Its significance is therefore primarily regional: it is a Toyama-focused television outlet within Japan's network-affiliate system.
