BS TV Tokyo And BS Fuji To End BS4K Broadcasting

TOKYO, Mar 28 (News On Japan) - BS TV Tokyo and BS Fuji announced plans to end their BS4K broadcasting services, marking a shift away from satellite-based ultra-high-definition programming.

While the two broadcasters will discontinue BS4K transmissions, they said production of 4K content will continue, with programs to be made available for free on WOWOW On Demand, a streaming service scheduled to launch around autumn this year.

BS4K broadcasting, known for its high-resolution picture quality, began in 2018. However, BS TV Tokyo said it has faced ongoing difficulties in securing sufficient advertising revenue, prompting the decision to terminate the service.

The BS4K broadcasts are set to end on January 23rd, 2027.
