JAITS

Meanwhile, some JAITS members (GBS, MTV, BBC, TVN, WTV) broadcast a lot of TV Tokyo's programs.

The Japanese documents for the association refer to the acronym JAITS but the fully spelled English name has not been disclosed yet.

[citation needed] Here is the description of characters of the independent commercial terrestrial television stations in Japan.

Externally sourced popular contents are often too expensive to buy therefore they are very difficult to beat major networks in viewing rates.

Compared with the major networks, the independent stations have a relatively smaller audience, but have a more flexible schedule due to their decentralized nature.

In 2000, All Japan Pro Wrestling moved to JAITS affiliates after it ended its run on Nippon TV.
