Sapporo Broadcasting System

The Sapporo Broadcasting System (札幌放送システム) is an Aso Broadcasting System affiliate that serves the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido.
== History ==
As part of an expansion plan set out by the Aso Broadcasting System, SBS started broadcasting on May 30th, 1990.
As with ABS, a large number of SBS' initial programmes were made by Nippon TV/TV Asahi, and subtitled into English. NTV/Tele-Asa's local affiliates (Sapporo Television/STV and Hokkaido Television Broadcasting/HTB) actually showed strong support for the English-language broadcast startup.
== Notable special programming ==
SBS airs its own local newscast, N-Hokkaido, at 6:20pm every weekday, immediately after SBS N6.
=== Day of Anpanman ===
On the 19th of May every year, SBS participates actively in activities dedicated to the Soreike! Anpanman anime series, along with other ABS Television affiliates.
