Kyowa Independent Television

Kyowa Independent Television (KIT) was the first Kyowan commercial television network, inspired by the Anglosovic ITV network. Due to dissatisfaction with the network, Tokai TV and Metro TV left the affiliation in 1994, to creating the Tokai National Network, the government planned to divide the licenses of the two, but due to their connections with the owners, the commercial TV market was liberalized, with KIT being dismantled shortly afterward. Its affiliated stations were provincial broadcasters during the Communist regime that were privatized.
