MEDIA Q3

Media Q Inc., the predecessor of Media Q3, was founded in October 1979, just one year after the start of the TV Sound Multiplex Broadcast system, which provided English language translations of the news on a sub-channel... Media Q3 was established following the termination of the program in 2008 and continues to provide translation services for a variety of broadcast media in Japan, corporations and academic institutions... Over the next year, TBS, dissatisfied with the low quality of work provided by a translation company, asked Media Q Inc. to take over the operation. While similar bilingual news programs broadcast by NTV, Fuji, and TV Asahi (NET) lasted only the next several years, Media Q Inc. became the sole company to successfully continue its English language news program for TBS for 30 years.
