 Japan Media Review -- TV News in Japan: Reporting on Politics or Shaping it?
By comparison, in 1985 TV Asahi, the Asahi News Network's (ANN) "key" station in Tokyo that was responsible for much of the national news for the network, had a total of 190 permanent employees and about 36 additional people who were contracted for services, with about 80 reporters covering the capital region.
For example, the second largest newspaper, the Asahi Shimbun, which some consider the "paper of record" in Japan and the most liberal of the national papers, is partial owner of TV Asahi.
TV Asahi executives felt that it was a mutual relationship of "sharing information." In other words, commercial stations, to at least some extent, rely on external sources, such as the national newspaper that partially owns it, to alert it to the potential "pool" of news stories that day.

Asahi Television was set to publish later on Monday a poll showing support for Mori had slid nine points to 17.2 percent and that 59 percent of voters thought he should resign.
Young Turks in the LDP have called for an early election in December to replace Mori as party president, and hence as premier given the ruling bloc's majority in the powerful Lower House.
A search for a successor to Mori would involve a battle between mainstream LDP factions who want to pursue the big-government, special-interest policies that have kept the LDP in power for most of the past 45 years and those who say a failure to change spells electoral defeat.

 CNN.com - Swim star Thorpe bound for TV glory - October 12, 2001
In Japan his Coca-Cola television commercials have given him an enviable recognition factor among teenagers -- one reason his face is used for an anti-drug campaign.
Along with the TV Asahi agreement signed this week, Thorpe has clinched deals with global apparel company Adidas and the licensing organization Gaffney International Licensing that are expected to earn him more than $5 million over the next three years.
TV Asahi used Thorpe in its promotion of the Fukuoka championships, where the tall Australian with the giant feet set three world records (200m, 400m and 800m freestyle) and was part of the Australian 4 x 200m relay team which set another world record.
