Independent station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Independent station is a term for a broadcast radio or television station which is more independent in some way compared to other "dependent" stations. The definition of "independence" varies from country to country, reflecting governmental regulations, market environment and the broadcasting medium's development history.

In the United States and Canada, the term refers to terrestrial stations which are not affiliated with any networks; see Independent station (North America) for more details.

In Japan, the term refers to terrestrial stations which are not members of any networks whose dominant stations are located in Tokyo; see Japanese Association of Independent Television Stations (JAITS) for more details. In addition, although the University of the Air (Japan) is not a member of JAITS, it can also be classified as independent.
