Nippon Television Network Corporation (Nippon TV), for the first time ever, will exhibit a booth jointly with its affiliate stations, known collectively as Nippon TV Network System (NNS), at TIFFCOM 2014, an international marketplace for television. The event will be held from October 21st (Tue) to 23rd (Thu) at Daiba in Tokyo, Japan.

Nippon TV, Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation, and Sapporo Television Broadcasting Co., Ltd., all members of NNS, have independently sold their respective content to overseas markets. By joining forces as an entire network, the stations benefit from sharing their expertise and are able to present the power of the combined NNS brand to the rest of the world. This marks the first step towards empowering each regional station to eventually step out and independently showcase their content on a global scale.

At this year's TIFFCOM, 29 out of the 30 affiliate stations will showcase and sell their documentaries, travelogues, and infotainment programs that feature the local charms of every region spanning from the north of the country to the south. Local programs from all over Japan are in high demand, especially in Asia. By packaging our programs as an "NNS" brand and making them available overseas, we hope that Nippon TV affiliate stations see their content reach more homes throughout the world.
