02/28/2006 @ 6:00 pm
Glenn Davis, a former magazine editor at Tokyo Journal, has been appointed an executive producer at JBS, Japan’s first Internet TV station, which starts broadcasting worldwide on March 3.
There will be a press conference in Tokyo that day and a visit by Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, according to media reports.
Among the other shows Davis has planned for JBS, one will feature longtime Tokyo resident Mark Schreiber doing two short weekly segments talking about current Japanese-language magazines and tabloid newspaper stories on a show called Offbeat Japan.

March 8th, 2006 at 3:17 amCorrection: In my original post above, I wrote that Glenn Davis had been appointed AN executive producer at the network, not THE executive producer…and I just want to make that clear here. He is not THE executive producer, he is AN executive producer.
Also this:
the company’s website … ITV-Japan (www.itvjapan.com) is
Japan’s first internet television network and was launched on January 1,
2003.
It is an official partner of the American chamber of Commerce in Japan (ACCJ)
, the British Chamber of Commerce in Japan (BCCJ) and our website contains
more than 250 business interviews in both English and Japanese.
take a look!

I was wrong. JBS is not the first internet television network in Japan …
they are the “newest entrant into internet television in Japan” …ITV-Japan was there first.
