We are very happy to share the joy of such achievements with everyone involved and we are most grateful to our viewers for their loyal support.
Our dramas did very well in FY2012: the series “AIBOU: Tokyo Detective Duo -Season 11” reaffirmed its strength with steady high ratings throughout its 2 terms covering six months with a new partner detective introduced in the Season 11. The final episode marked the record-breaking highest rating of the entire series. And our new drama, “Doctor-X”, also became a mega-hit, ranking top in ratings for all dramas produced by commercial broadcasters in FY2012.
The driving power in the steady increase of our annual golden and prime-time ratings to reach the top was the strong line-up of our regular variety shows, “Otameshi-ka!,” “Quiz Presentation Variety: Lord Q” and “London Hearts” which kept their steady high ratings throughout the year, along with our flagship late-evening weekday news show "Hodo Station." Our special programs also contributed much to our rating results: exciting major sports coverage such as “FIFA World Cup Brazil Asian Qualifiers”, “ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series,” and “World Baseball Classic”; special one-off dramas commemorating the 55th anniversary of the launch of our station, “The Drama Specials Marking the 20th Anniversary of the Death of a Master Detective Fiction Writer Seicho Matsumoto: ‘Fatal Photo’ and ‘The Housekeeper’”; “AIBOU: Tokyo Detective Duo -Season 11 New Year Special”; and “Dream Challenge 2013： Who are the Champions by the Super Duo Tunnels!!“
