JORY-DTV (channel 5), also known as QAB is a Japanese television station serving Okinawa Prefecture as an affiliate of the All-Nippon News Network. The station is owned-and-operated by Ryukyu Asahi Broadcasting Corporation and its studios and headquarters are located in the Kumoji district of Naha, which is shared with the headquarters for Ryukyu Broadcasting Corporation, which QAB has a relationship with.
Overview
QAB was the first commercial TV station to open in Okinawa Prefecture after its reversion to Japan in 1972, and is also one of the new Heisei stations. Since the main station was the first UHF TV station in the prefecture (UHF channel 28 in Naha), a new UHF antenna was required in some areas to watch the station. For this reason, for several years after the start of test broadcasts, a 5-minute program "アンテナ情報" (literally "Antenna Information") was broadcast to explain how to install the antenna (In areas that receive relay stations other than the Naha main station, there are already UHF relay stations at other locations, and most households have UHF antennas, so it was possible to watch by setting the channel on the TV itself).
RBC has invested in the company and shares the RBC building (floors 2 and 6 of the RBC Hall), so many employees and staff are seconded from RBC. This is based on the business alliance between RBC and TV Asahi, which was concluded on the premise of the friendship between the Okinawa Times and the Asahi Shimbun, which have a close relationship with RBC, and the opening of the station. QAB conducts part of the broadcasting operations related to announcements, reporting, and sales in-house, and outsources most of the broadcasting operations to RBC, including facility management of company buildings and transmission stations, and transmission masters. In effect, RBC has one station and two waves, and it is positioned as the second channel of RBC TV. Initially, QAB sought to integrate RBC and the news department, but it was postponed due to the possibility of conflict with the JNN exclusive agreement of "not allowing participation of broadcasting stations belonging to other networks". Initially, TV Asahi was planning to open the station alone, but RBC, who was afraid of collapsing together, negotiated with TV Asahi and tenaciously negotiated with the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications (at that time) to build the current system.
There was a possibility of simultaneous opening with fourth Okinawan station (UHF channel 30, Nansei Broadcasting, a station that was planned to be affiliated with Nippon Television in Okinawa Prefecture), which was planned in the 1990s.
Only TVQ Kyushu Broadcasting, affiliated with TV Tokyo in Fukuoka Prefecture, uses the abbreviation "Q". The logo has a Latin letter 'A' inside the '\' part of a 'Q' shaped like a satellite dish.
There are no Nippon Television affiliated stations and TV Tokyo affiliated stations in Okinawa Prefecture, but the main station does not broadcast Nippon Television affiliated programs. On the other hand, TV Tokyo affiliated programs, programs of the affiliated stations of JAITS, and programs of the production committee method are partly broadcast in the form of program sales.
History
10 June 1994: QAB is founded.
1 October 1995: It started as Okinawa Prefecture's third commercial television station (test broadcasts from September 24 to 30 that year).
1 December 2006: the station's Digital terrestrial television broadcasts were started from their Naha main station.
21 October 2009: Although it was initially not applicable, broadcasting started in the Sakishima Islands (Miyako/Yaeyama), which was shifted to the opening of a new digital station. At first, preparations were made with the aim of opening the station in May of the same year, but the cause was a malfunction in the equipment connecting the transmission line between the main island and the Sakishima Islands and the signal transmission line within the Sakishima Islands. Postponement announced on the 28th. After that, the problem with the equipment was fixed, and on October 20, the Okinawa Telecommunications Office issued a license, and in the Sakishima (Miyako/Yaeyama) area, QAB was finally able to be viewed 15 years after the station opened.
23 July 2011: Broadcasting started in the Daito Islands (Minamidaito/Kitadaito) as a new digital station. This covers 99.5% of the entire Okinawa Prefecture.
