History
The former owner of Daitokai Shimbun, Mitorai Yamamoto, originally concieved an idea of private television broadcasting in Neonia in 1953, only a year after its launch. One year later, the Daitokai Shimbun group applied for a license for a private television broadcaster. The channel later started test broadcasts in 1955, before officially launching on April 9th, 1956, via JMTR-TV in Shiguto City and JSTR-TV in Sakana, both broadcasting on channel 4.

During that time, it broadcast mainly entertainment broadcasting, with comedy, drama, imported, local and childrens shows also airing. Its original name was Radio Shiguto TV (as it had been concieved from first private radio broadcaster Radio Shiguto), but later changed its name to TV4 in 1964 as it began to expand nationwide. As a transition name, it became TV4-Metrovision in 1991 before adopting its current name in 1993.
