1953 is the first year of the broadcasting in Japan. In February NHK (日本放送協会:Nippon Hoso Kyokai, Japan Broadcasting Corporation) started broadcasting. NHK is Japan's national public broadcasting organization.
As a commercial broadcasting, NTV (日本テレビ放送網:Nippon Television Network Corporation) started its business at 11:20 am on Aug. 28, 1953.
At the same time the first commercial film was on air. Therefore today is also called terebi CM no hi(テレビCMの日), Anniversary of TV CM, which was established in 2005.
The first TV commercial film was about the watch by Hattori tokei ten(服部時計店). They were going to tell the signal of 12:00 noon, but since it was the very first one, the film was input inside out and last for only 3 seconds and the sound was also very vague.
