[edit] History of Kansai TV

On February 1, 1958, Dai Kansai TV Company (大関西テレビ放送株式会社) was founded. On July 5, the company was renamed "Kansai Telecasting Corporation", and started to broadcast on November 22. The next year, Kansai TV made a network with Fuji TV, Tokai TV, and Kyushu Asahi Broadcasting. In 1964, the network TV station of the network in Fukuoka changed to TV Nishinippon. Two years later, Fuji News Network (FNN) was formed. Three years after then, Fuji Network System (FNS) was formed. In 1992, Kansai TV opened Lemon Studio in Tokyo. On October 1, 1997, the headquarters moved from Nishi-Temma, Kita-ku, Osaka to Ogimachi, Kita-ku, Osaka.
