Shikoku Television Broadcasting

Shikoku Television Broadcasting (四国テレビ放送) is an Aso Broadcasting System affiliate that serves the southern Japanese island of Shikoku.

History
As part of an expansion plan set out by the Aso Broadcasting System, SBS started broadcasting on May 30th, 1990.

As with ABS, a large number of STB's initial programmes were made by Nippon TV/TV Asahi, and subtitled into English. NTV/Tele-Asa's local affiliates (Nankai Broadcasting/RNB, Nishinippon Broadcasting/RNC and Shikoku Broadcasting/JRT; and Ehime Asahi Television/eat and Setonaikai Broadcasting/KSB) actually showed strong support for the English-language broadcast startup.

Notable special programming
SBS airs its own local newscast, N-Shikoku, at 6:20pm every weekday, immediately after SBS N6.

Day of Anpanman
On the 19th of May every year, SBS participates actively in activities dedicated to the Soreike! Anpanman anime series, along with other ABS Television affiliates.
