TBS
Tokyo Broadcasting System Television, Inc. (TBS) is one of Japan's core commercial TV networks and a long-running drama power with a business that now reaches well beyond linear broadcasting. Operating under TBS Holdings, the company has been pushing harder into international IP, co-productions, and premium scripted development as Japanese rights become more valuable across Asia. That shift is visible in its work with CJ ENM, its collaboration with Studio Dragon on the Korea-Japan drama Love is for the Dogs, and its role alongside U-NEXT in the new StudioMonowa venture. TBS also sits inside the broader Japanese screen market that helped carry the remake momentum behind Prime Video's Marry My Husband. Under its Medium-term Business Plan 2026, joint content development with global partners has become central to how TBS wants to scale premium entertainment IP.
