TVQ Kyushu Broadcasting Co., Ltd. (株式会社TVQ九州放送, Kabushikigaisha TVQ Kyūshū Hōsō, TVQ), callsign JOTY-DTV (channel 7) is a Japanese television station based in Fukuoka that serves as the affiliate of the TX Network for the Fukuoka Prefecture.

Overview

[edit]

TVQ was the fifth station to launch in Fukuoka, and the sixth affiliate with the TX Network. There were the last stations to launch in the markets.

It is customary for TX Network affiliates to use TV + region name, as in TV Hokkaido, TV Aichi, TV Osaka, and TV Setouchi. During the time of its establishment, the company was named as "TXN Kyushu" because the name "TV Kyushu", which the owner intended to use, was already registered as the company name of a cable TV station in Saga Prefecture. Since then, the nickname of the company is Tele Q (テレQ, Tere kyū). In April 2001, the name of the company was changed to the current one, though retaining its nickname.

This is the one of the two only television stations to have "Q" in its name, the other being Ryukyu Asahi Broadcasting
