==Programming==
Since its inception until 1973, TV Miyazaki hasn't been officially part in any network. At that time, it aired 60% of Fuji TV programming and 20% of programming each for Nippon TV and TV Asahi.<ref name=":0" />{{Rp|42}} In April 1973, TV Miyazaki became an FNN/FNS affiliate.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":0" />{{Rp|48}} Then in April 1976, they also joined [[All-Nippon News Network|ANN]] as its secondary affiliate (but not ANN's general programming).<ref name=":0" />{{Rp|54}} And by April 1979,  they finally joined [[Nippon News Network|NNN]] as its tertiary affiliate (like ANN, TV Miyazaki is not part of [[Nippon Television Network System|NNS]], despite participating in the [[:ja:24時間テレビ 「愛は地球を救う」|24 Hour TV]] charity and airing select variety programs from Nippon TV).<ref name=":0" />{{Rp|60}}

Currently, the news provider (on all days) every morning and primetime (alongside their local news program [[:ja:UMKスーパーニュース|UMK Super News]]) comes from FNN, the lunch news bulletin comes from ANN, and the late night news comes from NNN.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web|title=@takakuratch on Twitter|work=Twitter |url=https://mobile.twitter.com/takakuratch/status/1414537835407835138|access-date=2021-07-31}}</ref>

Their primetime schedule is also a mix of programs mostly from Nippon TV and Fuji TV, which also leaves no simulcast slots for TV Asahi programming.<ref name=":2" />

Because some programs (mainly TV Asahi programming on all days and certain Nippon TV & Fuji TV programming on specific days) are not simulcasted by the broadcaster, there are currently two ways to watch them:

* Selected programs from Nippon TV (such as [[:ja:マツコ会議|Matsuko In The Room]]) and TV Asahi (such as [[Shinkon-san Irasshai|Welcome Newlyweds]]) are then aired on its rival broadcaster [[Miyazaki Broadcasting]],<ref>{{Cite web|title=Program Guide for October - December 2021 {{!}} MRT's Cocokara Magazine|url=https://app.mrt.jp/contents/cocokara/images/cocokara5-6.jpg|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211028170730/https://app.mrt.jp/contents/cocokara/images/cocokara5-6.jpg|archive-date=2021-10-28|access-date=2021-10-29|website=Miyazaki Broadcasting|language=ja}}</ref> or
