Okinawa Television Broadcasting Co., Ltd. (沖縄テレビ放送株式会社, Okinawa Terebi Hōsō Kabushiki-Gaisha), also known as OTV, is a Japanese broadcast network affiliated with the FNN/FNS. Their headquarters are located in Okinawa Prefecture.
It is the first commercial broadcaster to operate within Okinawa during the American occupation in the prefecture. In addition to airing Fuji TV programs, it also airs some of the Nippon TV output, and also represents Okinawa in the 24-Hour Television telethon. Okinawa has no NNN affiliate of its own, but there was a failed plan to introduce such an affiliate on UHF in the early 90s, the plan was eventually halted.
