TV Kanagawa is a television station that serves Kanagawa Prefecture and certain areas of the Greater Tokyo Area. The network is known as tvk for short. The station was founded in 1971 and began to air in 1972. The network is shown on channel 42 on the airwaves.
The channel is an independent station, so it mostly provides viewers with local information, local sports, programs that are educational, alternative music, and anime series that are shown in short cycles. Anime became extremely popular in the 1990s, as anime originated in Asia. With its popularity in Japan, many short series of anime programs have found their place in independent UHF stations. TV Kanagawa is one of the most well known of such stations in the market. A vast majority of UHF-niche anime television programs are aired on tvk. If it is an anime series, it is most likely shown on this specific network.
While the channel is only aired on television in Japan, it is possible to watch programming on the network in other countries. This can be done by watching the channel online. This can be done by streaming from an online channel, such as YouTube, or using an app on your telephone.
