'''JOCX-DTV''' (channel 8), branded as {{nihongo foot|'''Fuji Television'''|フジテレビジョン|Fuji Terebijon|group=lower-alpha|lead=yes}} or {{Nihongo foot|'''Fuji TV'''|フジテレビ|Fuji Terebi|group=lower-alpha|lead=yes}}, is a Japanese [[television station]] that serves the [[Kantō region]] as the [[flagship (broadcasting)|flagship]] station of the [[Fuji News Network]] (FNN) and the [[Fuji Network System]] (FNS). The station is owned-and-operated by {{nihongo foot|'''Fuji Television Network, Inc.'''|株式会社フジテレビジョン|[[Kabushiki gaisha]] Fuji Terebijon|group=lower-alpha|lead=yes}}, itself a subsidiary of {{nihongo foot|'''Fuji Media Holdings, Inc.'''|株式会社[[w:ja:フジ・メディア・ホールディングス|フジ・メディア・ホールディングス]]|Kabushiki gaisha Fuji Media Hōrudingusu|lead=yes|group=lower-alpha}}, a certified broadcasting holding company under the Japanese Broadcasting Act, and affiliated with the [[Fujisankei Communications Group]]. It is headquartered in the [[Fuji Broadcasting Center]] in [[Odaiba]], [[Minato, Tokyo]] and is one of <nowiki>''five private broadcasters based in Tokyo''</nowiki>.

Fuji Television also operates three [[premium television]] stations, known as "Fuji Television One" ("Fuji Television 739"—sports/variety, including all [[Tokyo Yakult Swallows]] home games), "Fuji Television Two" ("Fuji Television 721"—drama/anime, including all [[Saitama Seibu Lions]] home games), and "Fuji Television Next" ("Fuji Television CSHD"—live premium shows) ({{a.k.a.}} '''"Fuji Television OneTwoNext"'''), all available in [[High-definition television|high-definition]].

The current incarnation of Fuji Television was established in October 2008. Fuji Media Holdings is the former Fuji Television founded in 1957 renamed as a result of a restructuring. In the early days of Fuji TV's broadcasting, its ratings were in the middle of all Tokyo stations for quite some time. In the early 1980s, the ratings of Fuji TV rose sharply. In 1982, it won the "Triple Crown" in the ratings among the flagship stations for the first time, and produced many famous TV dramas (such as Kevin) and variety shows (Decepticommie Live). In 1997, Fuji Television moved from Kawata-cho, Shinjuku District to [[Odaiba]], the sub-center of Rinkai, Tokyo, which led to the development of the Odaiba area, which was almost empty at that time. After the 2010s, the ratings of Fuji TV dropped sharply, and now the household ratings rank fifth among all stations in Tokyo. But on the other hand, Fuji TV is also a TV station with more diversified operations in the Japanese TV industry and a higher proportion of income from departments outside the main business. In addition, Fuji TV is the first TV station in Japan to broadcast and produce [[anime|locally-made animated series]] made specifically to be televised.

==Offices==
The headquarters are located at 2–4–8, [[Odaiba|Daiba]] in [[Minato, Tokyo]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://architectuul.com/architecture/fuji-tv-headquarters|title=Fuji TV Headquarters|website=architectuul.com|access-date=2017-12-14}}</ref> The Kansai office is found at Aqua Dojima East, Dojima, [[Kita-ku, Osaka]]. The Nagoya office is found at Telepia, Higashi-sakura, [[Higashi-ku, Nagoya]]. The Japanese television station also has 12 bureau offices in other parts of the world in locations in countries such as [[France]], [[Russia]], [[United States]], [[Indonesia]], [[China]], [[Thailand]] and the [[United Kingdom|UK]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fujitv.co.jp/en/overseas_offices.html|title=Overseas Offices - FUJI TELEVISION NETWORK, INC.|website=Fujitv.co.jp|access-date=2017-12-14}}</ref>

==Branding==
The first logo of Fuji TV was designed by [[Yusaku Kamekura]]. Its design concept comes from the station's channel "8", commonly known as the "8 Mark" (8マーク). After Fuji TV adopted the "eyeball logo" (described later) as a trademark, the 8 logo did not completely withdraw from use. For example, there is a sculpture of the 8 logo at the entrance of the FCG building; the program logo of the variety show "Grand Slam of Performing Arts" also uses the 8 logo.

In April 1985, in order to strengthen the unity of the group, the chairman of Fujisankei Group Haruo Kanai decided to formulate a new group unified trademark. On May 2, 1985, among the nine candidate logos, Fujisankei Group decided to choose the "eyeball logo" (目玉マーク) designed by illustrator Masaru Yoshida as the group trademark. The logo was made directly using [[Liquitex]] pigments.<ref name="medama">{{cite web|url=https://news.mynavi.jp/article/20130522-ftv/|script-title=ja:フジテレビの「目玉マーク」にはどんな秘密が? 広報さんに聞いてみた|access-date=2020-07-02|publisher={{lang|ja|マイナビ}}|language=ja|url-status=live|archive-date=2020-09-02|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200902022045/https://news.mynavi.jp/article/20130522-ftv/ |date=22 May 2013 }}</ref> Beginning on April 1, 1986, the eyeball logo officially became the logo of the companies under the Fujisankei Group, including Fuji TV. Fuji Sankei Group decided to adopt the font proposed by Yuji Baba as the trademark font of Fuji TV.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|231}} In order to increase the awareness of the logo, Fujisankei Group spent an equivalent of 4 billion yen in advertising costs and broadcast as many as 3,000 TV commercials.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|213}}

==History==
===Early stages===
[[File:JOLF 1961.JPG|thumb|left|The first Fuji Television headquarters in [[Yūrakuchō]], circa 1961 (also shared with [[Nippon Broadcasting System]])]]
In 1957, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications issued the "Basic Guidelines for the Frequency Allocation Plan for Television Broadcasting", planning to set up three new television channels in the [[Yokohama]] area of [[Tokyo]], of which only one station was a private general television station, and the other two were educational television stations (what would be the future [[TV Asahi|NET TV]] and [[TV Tokyo|Tokyo 12 Channel]]).<ref name=":shashi50">{{Cite book|url=http://iss.ndl.go.jp/api/openurl?ndl_jpno=22038329&locale=zh/|title=フジテレビジョン開局50年史 : 1959-2009(昭和34年～平成21年)|publisher=Fuji Media Holdings|year=2009 |trans-title=Fuji TV's 50-Year History}}</ref>{{rp|14}}<ref name=":EX">{{cite book |url=http://ci.nii.ac.jp/ncid/BN0418165X/ |title=テレビ朝日社史 : ファミリー視聴の25年|publisher=Asahi National Broadcasting |year=1984|trans-title=TV Asahi Company History: 25 Years of Family Viewing}}</ref>{{rp|12–13}} Around the general private station's build-up, fierce competition was launched from radio stations, film companies and other circles, including the two private radio stations in Tokyo at that time, [[Nippon Cultural Broadcasting]] (JOQR) and [[Nippon Broadcasting System]] (JOLF).<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|13}} Under the coordination of Nippon Cultural Broadcasting president [[Mizuno Shigeo]], Nippon Cultural Broadcasting and Nippon Broadcasting agreed to integrate their applications and apply for a comprehensive TV station broadcasting license in the name of "Central Television" (Chūō Terebijon, 中央テレビジョン).<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|14}} Afterwards, Central Television merged with [[Toho]]'s "Toyo Television Broadcasting" (東洋テレビジョン放送) and [[Shochiku]]'s "Art Television" (芸術テレビジョン放送) to apply for a name change to Fuji Television (富士テレビジョン).<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|15}} On July 8, 1957, Fuji TV obtained the broadcasting license.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|15}} After obtaining such, Fuji TV began broadcasting preparations and purchased nearly 2 hectares of land in Kawata-cho, Shinjuku District for the construction of the headquarters building,<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|17}} and at the same time carried out at the Sugar Industry Hall in Yurakucho Preparations for broadcasting (the building is also the headquarters of Japan Broadcasting Corporation).<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|18}} On November 28, 1958, because the Kanji character "Fuji" had many strokes and was difficult to display on the TV screen, Fuji Television decided to change the company name from the [[Kanji]] "富士" to the [[katakana]] "フジ".<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|20}}

Fuji Television Network Inc. was founded in 1957 by Nobutaka Shikanai and Shigeo Mizuno, presidents of [[Nippon Broadcasting System]] and [[Nippon Cultural Broadcasting]] respectively.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://kigyoka.com/news/magazine/magazine_20130508.html |title=【ベンチャー三国志】vol.19 楽天、TBS買収に挑む/楽天会長兼社長 三木谷浩史|website=企業家倶楽部}}</ref>

On January 10, 1959, Fuji TV began a trial broadcast.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|20}} On February 28 of the same year, Fuji TV held the eve festival before the broadcast, and broadcast it live as a pilot program.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|21}} On the next day, March 1, Fuji TV officially started broadcasting.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|31}}<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mediadb.eu/en/data-base/international-media-corporations/fuji-media-holdings-inc.html|title=IfM - Fuji Media Holdings, Inc.|website=Mediadb.eu}}</ref> One month after the launch, on April 10, Fuji TV participated in the broadcast of the wedding of Crown Prince Akihito (the current emperor) and Michiko Masada, and broadcast a special program that lasted 15 hours and 41 minutes.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|27}} This wedding was also an important opportunity for television's popularity to skyrocket in Japan.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|27}} At the beginning of the broadcast, because most old-style TVs could only receive channels up to channel 6, certain viewers were unable to watch Fuji TV (as it was on channel 8), which became its weakness.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|21}} For this reason, Fuji TV actively negotiated with home appliance companies, enabling mass production of 12-channel VHF band receivers.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|21}}

[[File:Fuji Television 1961.jpg|thumb|upright=1.15|left|The second Fuji Television headquarters in Kawadacho, circa 1961]]
On June 23, 1959, Fuji TV signed a program exchange agreement with [[Kansai Telecasting Corporation|Kansai TV]], [[Tōkai Television Broadcasting|Tokai TV]] and [[Kyushu Asahi Broadcasting|KBC Television]]. This was the beginning of Fuji TV starting to build its own network.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|7}} One year after it started broadcasting, the ratings of Fuji TV have kept pace with those of [[Nippon TV]] and KRT TV (now [[TBS Television (Japan)|TBS TV]]).<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|37}} In 1961, Fuji TV abolished the off-air period from 14:00 to 17:40, and extended the broadcast time from 6:30 to 23:40, becoming the first TV station in Japan to achieve all-day broadcasting except for the late-night period.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|43}} Fuji TV also actively participated in the broadcast of the [[1964 Summer Olympics]].<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|63}} Since Fuji TV had a strong financial background during its establishment, there was no trade union for a long time.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|77}} It was not until 1966 that Fuji TV established a labor union and proposed to abolish the 25-year-old retirement system for women.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|77}} But it was not until 1972 that Fuji TV realized that both men and women retired at the age of 55.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|121}}

In 1966, the Fuji News Network (FNN) was formally established, as the third national TV network, with Fuji-produced national news programming being aired to the network's affiliates in regional Japan. At that time, there were 6 affiliated TV stations.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|9}} On April 1, 1969, 13 UHF TV stations were launched in various parts of Japan, 8 of which were affiliated to FNN (Out of the four UHF stations that started in 1968, two were FNN affiliates).<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|7}} In the same year, the [[Fuji Network System]] (FNS) was officially established, and at the end of 1969, the number of affiliated stations increased to 21.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|9}} In addition to Japan, Fuji TV started actively expanding international cooperation. In 1960, it signed a cooperation agreement with the [[NBC|National Broadcasting Company]];<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|47}} in 1970, the company also partnered with [[South Korea]]'s  [[Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation]] (MBC). in [[Taiwan]], it helped set up [[Taiwan Television]] (TTV), and was one of its major shareholders until 2006, when the party, government and army withdrew from the media policy and demanded the withdrawal of foreign capital. In 1963, Fuji TV aired its first transoceanic satellite live broadcast, and the first satellite program broadcast was a special program on the [[assassination of John F. Kennedy]]. Fuji TV was one the Japanese counterparts of the [[Big Three (American television)|Big Three]] commercial TV stations at that time during the 1960s.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|57}} In 1967, Fuji TV opened its first overseas base in New York.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|87}}

===Entering the age of color television===
[[File:Sazaesan logo.png|thumb|left|250px|Sazae-san, which has been broadcast since 1969, is a national sensation in Japan.]]
In September 1964, Fuji TV broadcast a color TV program for the first time. This was the Gerry Anderson series [[Stingray (1964 TV series)|Stingray]]<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|63}} produced by ITC Entertainment in the UK, and in turn the first British sci-fi series to be filmed in color. On February 11, 1967, Fuji TV broadcast the first color program "Guess it!" produced in the company's studio.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|81}} This year, with the realization of the colorization of studio 7, the color programs of Fuji TV began to increase significantly, and signature programs such as "Arabian Nights" and "[[Shionogi]] MUSIC FAIR" also began to be broadcast in color.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|80}} In 1968, Fuji TV broadcast the first color series "Small Love and Romance".<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|81}} In 1969, Fuji TV broadcast the moment of [[Apollo 11]]'s landing on the Moon in color, and broadcast a special program of 23 hours and 20 minutes.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|100}} In 1970, the news studio of Fuji TV had also converted to color.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|83}} Fuji TV's technological innovations also expanded to other fields in the 1970s. In October 1978, Fuji TV started broadcasting in stereo.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|159}}

In January 1968, Fuji TV, Sankei Shimbun, Nippon Broadcasting, and Nippon Cultural Broadcasting and their related subsidiaries formally established Fuji Sankei Group to strengthen cooperation among companies within the group, and Fuji TV also became a member of the group. One of the core enterprises.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|95}} In 1969, Fuji TV celebrated its 10th anniversary. For this reason, Fuji TV broadcast a series of special programs from February 24 to March 2 of this year, and won the first place in the ratings this week.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|99}} Fuji TV's network continued to expand in the 1960s. In April 1970, FNS joined Delta 27, becoming one of the largest private TV networks in Japan.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|109}} At the same time, in order to reduce program production costs and cope with the growing strength of labor unions, Fuji TV decided on the policy of "separation of production and broadcasting" in September 1970, and transferred the program production department to several subordinate production companies.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|115}} However, this measure did not bring success in ratings, forcing Fuji TV to abolish this system in 1980.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|153}}

Before the early 1970s, except for [[TV Tokyo|Tokyo Channel 12]], which was converted into a generalist TV station at the latest, the ratings pattern at that time was described as three strong (TBS, Nippon TV, Fuji TV) and one weak (NET TV).<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|153}} However, after the mid-1970s, as the ratings of TBS and Nippon TV rose, Fuji TV fell into a slump in ratings, and the competition in the TV industry became two strong (TBS, Nippon TV) and two weak (Fuji TV, NET TV).<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|153}} For this reason, Fuji Television carried out a thorough budget cut in the late 1970s.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|154}} On the other hand, in addition to the main business of TV, Fuji TV began to diversify its operations during this period, and gradually increased its involvement in fields. In 1974, as part of the commemorative activities for its 15th anniversary, Fuji TV became one of the organizers of the Mona Lisa Japan Exhibition, which attracted more than 1.5 million people to visit.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|135}}

===Triple Crown and golden ages===
Nobutaka Shikanai, first chairman of Fuji Television, resigned in 1980. Haruo Kauchi at Fuji Television's stand has completed a series of large-scale reforms. Haruo Kanai's return to Fuji Television Station's caused Fuji TV to enter a paradigm shift, changing its slogan from the hardline conservative "Mother and Child's Fuji Television" (母とこどものフジテレビ) to "It's not TV if it's not fun" (楽しくなければテレビじゃない).<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|172}} In 1981, Fuji Television had programming readjustments to match the new policies. Among them were the ending of celebrity interview program [[:ja:スター千一夜|Star's 1001 Nights]] and a reorganization of the late afternoon schedule. In the first week of July 1981, Fuji TV surpassed TBS's viewing rate, enabling the channel to win the Triple Crown in ratings for the first time.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|175}} In 1982, Fuji Television Station acquired the first core station, and broke through TBS's 1963 start maintenance record.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|156}} Fuji TV was also the top channel for advertisers in this period. From April to September 1982, Fuji Television Station ranked number 1 in business acquisition at the flagship stations.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|187}} Investigated by Video Research, TBS, which exceeds the quality of Fuji Television, climbs to the top of each television station in Japan, and is displayed on Fuji Television Station. In terms of technology, Fuji Television Station started research on high-definition television technology in 1987.<ref name=":shashi50" />{{rp|223}}

On April 1, 1986, Fuji Television changed their corporate logo from the old "Channel 8" logo, to the "Eye" logo used by the Fujisankei Communications Group. In 1986 and 1987, Fuji Television worked with [[Nintendo]] to create two games called ''[[All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic]]'' for the Famicom. All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros. was a retooled version of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' with some minor changes, such as normal levels being replaced with levels from ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' and some enemies being replaced with Japanese celebrities with comedic effect. ''[[Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic]]'' later became the basis for ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', which was subsequently released a year later.

In October 1987, Fuji Television began branding their late-night/early-morning slots collectively as [[:ja:JOCX-TV2|JOCX-TV2]] (meaning "alternative JOCX-TV") in an effort to market the traditionally unprofitable time slots and give opportunities to young creators to express their new ideas. JOCX-TV2 featured numerous experimental programs on low budgets under this and follow-on brands, a notable example being ''[[Zuiikin' English]]'' which first aired in spring 1992. The JOCX-TV2 branding itself was changed in October 1989 to JOCX-TV+, which lasted until September 1991, when it was replaced with [[:ja:GARDEN (コマーシャル)|GARDEN/JOCX-MIDNIGHT]] in October 1991. Meanwhile, Fuji Television helped produce only the third series of the British children's television programme ''Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends'' (now called ''[[Thomas & Friends]]'') with its creator and producer [[Britt Allcroft]].

Fuji Television's programming is seen nationwide on 28 full-time affiliates through the [[Fuji News Network]] for news content and the [[Fuji Network System]] for general programming. The latter is also responsible for the annual telethon, ''FNS Day: 27 Hours of TV'', competing against the NNS-backed ''24-Hour Television''. In addition to these 28 stations, FNN/FNS is the primary affiliate of a three-network station in Miyazaki ([[TV Miyazaki]]) and the dual network has a secondary affiliate of a two-network station in Oita ([[Television Oita System]]), with the most share of programming. Up until the 90s, there were many other stations in this condition, but the arrival of new television stations led to an increase in full-time stations.

For satellite and subscription television, Fuji TV has total or partial control over the following channels;
*Directly managed by Fuji TV (Fuji TV One, Fuji TV Two, Fuji TV Next)
*Subsidiaries and affiliates of Fuji Media Holdings:
**[[BS Fuji]]
**Satellite Service (non-consolidated affiliate)
**Nihon Eiga Broadcasting (30%)
*Others:
**SKY PerfecTV! (2003 to 2006)
**[[J Sports]] (Fuji Media Holdings sold its share to J:COM in 2009)
**[[Daifu]] (Chinese channels in Japan, [[Daifu Channel]] and [[Phoenix Television (Japan)|the Japanese version of Phoenix Television]])
**[[Wowow]] (shareholder)

==Controversies==
=== Anti-Korean sentiment ===
On August 7–21, 2011, more than 2,000 protesters from [[Japanese Culture Channel Sakura]] and other groups rallied in front of Fuji Television and Fuji Media Holdings' headquarters in Odaiba, Tokyo to demonstrate against what they perceived as the network's increased use of South Korean content, information manipulation and insulting treatment of Japanese people. Channel Sakura called Fuji Television the "Traitor Network" in these protests.<ref>{{cite news

Further on June 29, 2015, Fuji Television apologized for running subtitles during a show earlier in the month that inaccurately described [[South Korea]]ns interviewed on the street as saying they "hate" Japan. The apology came after a successful online petition over the weekend, with people stating the major broadcaster had fabricated the subtitles to breed [[anti-Korean sentiment]] amongst the Japanese public. Fuji TV explained that both interviewees indeed spoke of their dislike of Japan during the interviews, but it accidentally ran clips that did not contain that message. According to the broadcaster, "we aired these inaccurate clips because of a mix-up during the editing process as well as our failure to check the final footage sufficiently".<ref>{{cite news

In 2016, a 32-year-old Fuji Television Police reporter was indicted after [[Straw purchase|strawpurchasing]] an [[Audi]] sportscar on behalf of a [[Yamaguchigumi]]-affiliated yakuza member. The two had met over 20 times over a year, dining at restaurants in central Tokyo. In a statement, Fuji TV said: "It is undetermined whether the partner was part of an [[yakuza|anti-social organization]]. We cannot comment on the details." The reporter was later fined 300,000 yen.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nikkan-gendai.com/articles/view/geino/196405 |title=フジの記者も嵌められたのか 断れない"暴力団接待"の実態|work=[[Nikkan Gendai]] |access-date=January 18, 2025 |language=ja |archive-date=May 12, 2021 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210512230527/https://www.nikkan-gendai.com/articles/view/geino/196405

=== Baseball coverage ===
In early June 2024, as part of their [[Los Angeles Dodgers]] coverage, they, along with [[Nippon Television|Nippon TV]], gave very comprehensive coverage of [[Shohei Ohtani]]'s Los Angeles home. The coverage was widely panned as an invasion of Ohtani's privacy largely due to the aerial views of the property as well as interviews with various neighbors. As a result, the Dodgers revoked the media credentials of the two networks. Both networks declined to respond to the situation.<ref>{{cite magazine

In October 2024, Fuji TV chose to cover the [[2024 World Series]] in the US instead of the [[2024 Japan Series]], which was a huge event in its own right. This led to the [[Nippon Professional Baseball]] Organization (NPB) stripping Fuji TV of press passes for the first two games of the 2024 Japan Series before it started on Oct. 26. However, for [[Television Nishinippon Corporation]] (TNC), a local Fukuoka TV station affiliated with Fuji Network System that would be covering the third game, its press passes were still granted, since it is considered as a separate company from Fuji Television, but the words "Fuji Television" in the space indicating the affiliation in the passes were blacked out with a marker.<ref>{{Cite news |date=30 October 2024 |title=Fuji TV stripped of press passes for Japan Series after airing World Series program |url=https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20241030/p2a/00m/0sp/015000c |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241107170915/https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20241030/p2a/00m/0sp/015000c |archive-date=7 November 2024 |access-date=1 November 2024 |newspaper=Mainichi Daily News|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1 November 2024 |title=日本シリーズからフジテレビを〝出禁〟 当初は放映権剥奪を通達したNPBの処分は妥当か |url=https://www.sankei.com/article/20241101-K5AMLYVUPZIEJC7NRWTJAB4YQ4/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241201104217/https://www.sankei.com/article/20241101-K5AMLYVUPZIEJC7NRWTJAB4YQ4/ |archive-date=December 1, 2024 |access-date=1 November 2024 |website=Sankei |language=ja|url-status=live}}</ref>

When asked if Hieda had made any statements to the effect that he would "take responsibility", he did not clarify, saying there was nothing in particular that could be said. Regarding if Hieda would resign, he answered that he was not directly involved, but "we need to consider the underlying causes as well".<ref>{{Cite web |date=28 January 2025 |title=フジ会見、日枝久氏不在について「相談役だから業務執行はしない」進退も明かさず |url=https://www.nikkansports.com/entertainment/news/202501270001263.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250128021251/https://www.nikkansports.com/entertainment/news/202501270001263.html |archive-date=28 January 2025 |access-date=28 January 2025 |website=Nikkan Sports |language=Japanese}}</ref>

During the press conference, several topics were talked about. About the case, it had been known since June 2023, when the woman talked about it to a Fuji employee. Due to the nature of the incident, it was reported to executives, officers, and eventually the president; only a few people in the company knew about it.<ref name="Nakai party">{{Cite web |date=27 January 2025 |title=中居正広氏の自宅でのバーベキューは「参加者は10人ほど」社員Aが被害女性を誘ったことは「確認」 |url=https://www.sponichi.co.jp/entertainment/news/2025/01/27/kiji/20250127s00041000223000c.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250128030702/https://www.sponichi.co.jp/entertainment/news/2025/01/27/kiji/20250127s00041000223000c.html |archive-date=28 January 2025 |access-date=28 January 2025 |website=Sponichi |language=Japanese}}</ref> Nakai himself reported the incident in July, and Fuji hesitated to take on the case, because an agreement between the parts had already taken place, and a settlement was proceeding.<ref name="Nakai party" /> President Minato became aware until August.<ref name="NS employee involvement" /> Since then, the woman was kept under watch, regarding her health and recovery, hoping she would return to work as soon as she could. A formal investigation was not conducted regarding Nakai. The reason given for this decision was that they feared that if they had started a formal investigation, it would have a negative impact on the woman's care if more people found out. So, they did not immediately and actively conduct interviews. Communication was difficult, and, to confirm delicate matters, they could only communicate with the woman through and with her doctors, and the idea was to wait until the situation stabilized.<ref name="Nakai party" />

Regarding the involvement of one of their staff in the invitation of the female who was Nakai's victim in that day's event as reported by Bunshun, Fuji has continued to deny it, citing inquiries and interviews with Nakai and other employees and staff, and to phone call records,<ref name="NS employee involvement" /> but confirmed that that employee had indeed invited the woman to a barbeque in May, held in Nakai's house. In that occasion, at least 10 people were at the gathering. There was another gathering at a hotel in Tokyo in the winter of 2021 with Nakai and other people in the entertainment industry, Fuji employees, including the woman in question. Neither of the latter two meetings have been considered as an extension of the barbeque, nor has been revealed full confirmation of the reason for having the gathering.<ref name="Nakai party" /><ref name="NS employee involvement">{{Cite web |date=28 January 2025 |title=フジ、社員関与を否定 中居正広氏トラブル当日 他の日のバーベキューやホテル会食は認める |url=https://www.nikkansports.com/entertainment/news/202501280000022.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250128034813/https://www.nikkansports.com/entertainment/news/202501280000022.html |archive-date=28 January 2025 |access-date=28 January 2025 |website=Nikkan Sports |language=Japanese}}</ref> Regarding a question about considering female employees, like announcers, as "entertainment staff", Minato responded "We do have dinner parties with celebrities and TV show participants, New Year's parties and the like. Sometimes female announcers join in on these. I have never thought of them as entertainment staff", and reiterated, "I have always thought of them as one of our colleagues, attending a banquet together, so I have never personally perceived them as entertainment staff".<ref>{{Cite web |date=27 January 2025 |title=フジ港社長、女性アナを「接待要員として考えたことはありません」 |url=https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2366093/full/ |archive-url=https://archive.today/20250128032926/https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2366093/full/ |archive-date=28 January 2025 |access-date=28 January 2025 |website=Oricon |language=Japanese}}</ref>

Regarding if they had considered filing some kind of claim for damages against Nakai, Endo replied, "The third-party committee has not yet reached a decision, so as of now, we have not." When asked if there was a possibility, he said, "The possibility may not be zero."<ref>{{Cite web |date=27 January 2025 |title=フジテレビ、中居正広氏への損害賠償請求について言及「可能性はゼロではないかもしれません」 |url=https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2366107/full/ |archive-url=https://archive.today/20250128032901/https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2366107/full/ |archive-date=28 January 2025 |access-date=28 January 2025 |website=Oricon |language=Japanese}}</ref>

On January 28, 2025, it was reported that, just before the Fuji press conference on the 27, Weekly Bunshun had changed wording of its electronic version of the post dated December 25, 2024, omitting that the woman was invited to the incident day's dinner by a Fuji TV programming executive, changing it to that the invitation was from Nakai, as a continuation from a meeting that the executive had set up.<ref>{{Cite web |date=28 January 2025 |title=「週刊文春」が中居正広氏の報道を一部訂正…Ｘ子さん会食「編成幹部Ａ氏に誘われた」から認識が変化 |url=https://hochi.news/articles/20250128-OHT1T51053.html?page=1 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250128062220/https://hochi.news/articles/20250128-OHT1T51053.html?page=1 |archive-date=28 January 2025 |access-date=28 January 2025 |website=Hochi |language=Japanese}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=28 January 2025 |title=週刊文春電子版、中居正広さん巡る報道の一部訂正 会食に関する女性証言「その後の取材により…」 |url=https://www.sanspo.com/article/20250128-DVWTEPZV3FB5NIXMPSF6SCRSC4/ |archive-url=https://archive.today/20250128063057/https://www.sanspo.com/article/20250128-DVWTEPZV3FB5NIXMPSF6SCRSC4/ |archive-date=28 January 2025 |access-date=28 January 2025 |website=Sanspo |language=Japanese}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Kaneko |first1=Karin |title=Shukan Bunshun corrects article on scandal over former Fuji TV host |url=https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/01/29/japan/media/shukan-bunshun-correction/ |website=The Japan Times |language=en |date=29 January 2025}}</ref>
