NTV G+ (日テレジータス, Nittere Jītasu) is a Japanese sports channel owned by CS Nippon, a subsidiary of Nippon Television Holdings. The channel airs Yomiuri Giants baseball, martial arts, soccer, racing and other sports. As of February 2022, the channel was available in 7.5 million households.[1]
History and overview
[edit]The channel started broadcasting on March 1, 2002 on cable television, initially under the name G+ SPORTS & NEWS. Since the beginning, the channel televised all Yomiuri Giants games including pre- and post-game programs (Play Ball and Shiai Shuryo)[2] By December 2006, the channel was carrying games in their entirety, unlike terrestrial television.[3] G+ also implied the downfall of baseball on terrestrial outlets, after Fuji TV announced in July 2006 that it would stop airing Yomiuri Giants road games.[4]
From April 1, 2022, new subscribers of SKY PerfecTV! who would watch the channel, had to do it by subscribing CS Nippon's three-channel bundle (NTV G+, NTV News24 and NTV Plus).[5]
