NHK Subscription Fee
Besides NHK (Nippon Hoso Kyokai), the public Japan Broadcasting Corporation,

While commercial stations obtain their revenue from advertising, NHK is
funded by a subscription fee paid by viewers.
All viewers who have a television that can receive NHK broadcasts are required to have a contract with NHK.
NHK also provides satellite programming, called BS (Broadcast Satellite). Viewers of satellite television are charged an additional satellite subscription fee.
