Miyagi Television Broadcasting (宮城テレビ放送) is the Nippon TV station (NNN and NNS) for Sendai. The channel is branded as Miyatere (ミヤテレ).[1] It opened in 1970 as the third commercial station in Miyagi Prefecture. It was a combination of Nippon Television and NET (now TV Asahi). In 1975, after the opening of TV Asahi affiliate commercial station in the Miyagi Perfecture, it became the dominant station of the Nippon Television network in the Tohoku region. In 2015, it celebrated its 20 years anniversary of the information program it produced "OH! Bandes" which started in 1995. Miyagi is also known for producing many other in-house programs such as "Miya TV Stadium", and other net programs broadcast nationwide, securing its position as a TV station with strong local roots.
