History

In April 1962, 136,178 households in Miyagi Prefecture had TV sets, with a penetration rate of 39.6%. Against this background, Miyagi Prefecture residents are increasingly calling for the establishment of a second commercial TV station in the prefecture. On June 30, 1961, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications revised the first television channel plan, allowing the establishment of additional television stations in key local cities such as Sendai and Hiroshima. Sendai was therefore assigned channel 12. From 2005 to 2009, Sendai Television won the triple crown in ratings for five consecutive years.
Sendai Television began broadcasting digital television on December 1, 2005. Affected by the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, Sendai Television stopped broadcasting analog television on March 31, 2012, more than half a year behind other parts of Japan except the affected prefectures (Miyagi, Iwate, and Fukushima). Starting in December 2016, Sendai Broadcasting became a group subsidiary of Fuji Media Holdings.
