One great discovery (for me, at least) now that the transition to digital broadcasting has been completed, I can receive a television station with 24-hour Japanese programming.
UTB (United Television Broadcasting), now has a spot on Channel 18.2 in Los Angeles, where viewers can tune to Japanese or Japanese-related programs, including a large portion of English-language content from Japan’s public broadcaster, NHK.
Although I watch very little television these days, I am finding myself tuning in at UTB to watch some anime and other Japanese programs. Thankfully, many of them are captioned in English.
As I am writing this, an ad for the station came up which included a clip from Gamera 3, indicating the kinds of movies they show. Their website indicates that Gamera, Guardian of the Universe is scheduled to be broadcast on June 25.
If you enjoy Japanese culture, kaiju or get a kick out of Japanese television, you may want to take a good look at UTB.
The Rafu Shimpo, a Japanese newspaper in Los Angeles, has an article on UTB.
