User blog:The Testcardiologist/The Simpsons in Hokusei

General

 * The same rules apply to the IRL Japanese dub of The Simpsons.
 * This includes the ban of Thirty Minutes over Saikyo, even though here the episode was dubbed in Japanese.
 * It was reportedly seen twice on Mega Terebi in 2000, until they realized this episode caused a scandal.
 * There was an incident in Murakami regarding disrespect of the Emperor of Hokusei at the time, so they were allowed to air it there?
 * Little Big Mom also aired on Mega Terebi. Both episodes are banned from the Murakamese Fox channels too.
 * More seasons were dubbed in Japanese here compared to Japan.
 * The way the show was syndicated in Hokusei makes it feel more widespread. (kinda)

Hokusei

 * The series used to air on WOWOW.
 * Later satellite rights moved to the subscription Fox channel. After some time it moved to Fox BS258 (later Fox Sports and Entertainment). When it was replaced by a subscription clone of ESPN Hokusei, it moved to Dlife.
 * There was a terrestrial run, similar to the Atlansian/Hisqish method of first-run syndication.
 * Stations that ran selected episodes: Kamigawa Television, Sun TV, MBS Miyako, Saikyo MX, Hokkaiji Television Broadcasting, TV Shinsho, CBC TV, Hiroshi HOME Television, Maoka Broadcasting, Rurikyu Ashita Broadcasting, Ashikawa Telecasting, etc.
 * Other Atlansian and Hisqish series had terrestrial runs in this regime.
