This week at Mike's office building complex, there was a huge week-long celebration celebration of an Osaka-based Japanese television channel, YTV (Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation). The YTV Group owns Japan’s largest network broadcaster, Nippon Television Network Corporation, and affiliate Yomiuri-TV Enterprise Corporation is headquartered in the same building as Panasonic.
