Foundation for content creation: studio infrastructure and

toward the creation of new value

TBS actively develops studios aligned with the Group’s overall content strategy to achieve high-quality and efficient content creation. Going forward, we also aim to create new value and revenue sources by utilizing both studio infrastructure and proprietary technology. Vast creative space: Midoriyama Midoriyama Studio: the home of drama creation The TBS Midoriyama Studio is one of Japan’s leading video production hubs, featuring state-of-the-art studios across an expansive 80,000-tsubo (approximately 264,000 m2) site. Serving as the core of high-quality drama production, it leads video production in Japan with its unparalleled scale and com- prehensive functionality. TV program production taking advantage of sprawling open space TV programs such as “SASUKE,” filmed on the vast Midoriyama site, have gained immense popularity not only in Japan but also overseas. The skateboard version of “SASUKE,” titled “KASSO,” which sees boarders tackling a tricky obstacle course, has become especially popular among younger audiences. AKASAKA: the hub for media innovation Featuring cutting-edge broadcasting equipment, the TBS Broadcast Center is a comprehensive media hub that encom- passes not only transmission facilities and 11 TV production studios supporting content creation, but also radio broadcast- ing, live streaming and digital distribution functions. Adjacent to it is Tech Design X, an innovation space where technology and design intersect. This facility generates new experiences beyond the traditional boundaries of content creation and hosts a wide variety of events.
