NHK General TV (NHK総合テレビジョン NHK Sōgō Terebijon?) is the main television service of NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation). It shows news, drama, quiz/variety shows, music, sports, anime and specials which directly compete with its commercial counterparts. It is well known for its nightly newscasts, regular documentary specials and popular historical dramas. Among the programs NHK General TV broadcasts are the annual New Year's Eve spectacular Kōhaku Uta Gassen, the year-long Taiga drama, and the daytime Asadora.
The name in Japanese is often abbreviated Sōgō Terebi (総合テレビ?). Also "GTV" and "NHK G" are used. The word Sōgō is added for distinction to the official name without it, often to differentiate itself from NHK Educational TV and NHK BS Premium.
The NHK programs are composed based on the Japan Broadcasting Corporation Broadcasting Code.
NHK was the only television channel in Japan until the launch of Nippon TV on August 28 of that year.
Places in bold refer to where the main station of each region is located.
