Overview

• Fuji TV dismantled its Programming and Variety Production bureaus and established Corporate HQ, Content Strategy HQ and Studio Strategy HQ
• The programming function is now centralized within the Content Investment Strategy Bureau under the Content Strategy HQ
• The Announce Office was upgraded to bureau level under Corporate HQ, insulated from casting and production to strengthen talent oversight
• Production teams have been reorganized into First, Second and Third Studios handling drama and movies, variety and information, and other content respectively
• The overhaul implements President Kenji Shimizu’s April pledge to abandon Fuji TV’s 1980s slogan following a third-party committee’s criticism of a harassment-tolerant culture
