BS10 is a Japanese satellite television channel owned by Japanet Broadcasting, a subsidiary of Japanet Takata.

History

[edit]

On May 20, 2019, Japanet solicited a license to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications for a free-to-view satellite channel, tentatively named BS Japanet Next.[1] The ministry approved the license request on September 9.[2][3]

Japanet Takata had previously owned a cable and satellite shopping channel, Japanet Channel DX, from March 24, 2001 to March 31, 2021. The company closed the channel in order to concentrate on a new channel, which, instead of airing its usual type of programming, would take on a broader line-up, encompassing genres such as anime and drama.[4][5] Test transmissions started at 5am on March 9, 2022, using the name BS Japanext, on channel 263, and began broadcasting on March 27.[6] In tandem with its launch, the channel launched a smartphone app featuring the channel's stream (some programs being blocked due to copyright restrictions).[7] To counter viewing problems caused by its satellite frequency being lower than other channels, the channel's app expanded its reach to include smart TVs on May 1, 2023.[8]

On May 26, 2023, it joined the M-League, a mahjong competition, by creating the BEAST Japanext team, which was set to begin in the fall.[9][10][11] The team is now known as BEAST X (X pronounced as "ten") due to the rename beginning in the following season.

The Tsunugari Japanext app was discontinued at the beginning of fiscal 2025, moving its on-demand presence to the TVer platform.[12]

On June 1, 2024, Japanet Broadcasting acquired Star Channel from Tohokushinsha.[13][14] As consequence, Star Channel became a sister channel to BS Japanext, while, with the discontinuation of Star Channel 2 and Star Channel 3, the company now owned two satellite channels.[15]

On August 22, it was announced that BS Japanext would be renamed BS10.[16][17] On October 29, it was announced that the rebrand would take place on January 10, 2025.[18][19] The channel aired a special broadcast on January 9 to mark the move.[20] After that, the station moved from channel 263 to 200 (200 being inherited from Star Channel, which moved to 201 as a scrambled subchannel) and its former frequency was vacated.[21]

In line with the restructuring, the channel was made available on cable television companies such as J:COM, which did not carry the channel when it was BSJapanext.[18] In addition, Video Research began measuring the channel's ratings as part of its satellite rankings.[22]
