Okinawa Television and how the two men met

──Please tell us about Okinawa Television.

Kuniyoshi:

This year marks the 65th anniversary of the start of broadcasting on November 1, 1959, as Okinawa's first private television station.

Even before Okinawa was returned to Japan in 1972, the station began broadcasting using an American broadcasting license, which is a rare history in the country.
At the time, the station was under American rule, so there were strict regulations, programs were treated as exports and imports, and there were many problems with advertising rights. I heard that the
most difficult thing was that there were no television lines (microwave lines) between mainland Japan and Okinawa, so the station broadcast program films that were airlifted from the mainland every morning, noon, and night.

believe that this somewhat unique history is what has iran email address allowed us to flexibly respond to the changing environment of today's transition to an Internet society.



--Please tell us about yourself, Mr. Kuniyoshi.

Kuniyoshi :

I joined the company in 1994, so this year marks my 30th year here.

The best thing about my job was being able to work with a variety of different people. There were many unique seniors who let me try anything. The biggest experience I had was automating the commercial planning system. I was securing time for the spot commercials sold by the sales department, and adjusting the time to meet the sponsor's needs, which was a very craftsmanlike job, but I was able to get involved in a project to automate this process.

At the time, the term "DX (Digital Transformation)" did not exist, but I was involved in work to advance systemization. At that time, my boss told me, "Do whatever you like," which allowed me to gain valuable experience and bring me to where I am today.

It has been four years since we started our project with Yamashita-san. The project has developed further since its launch and is now moving to a new stage, and we are currently exploring what new developments we can make from now on.
