It has a 28-affiliate television network called Japan News Network, as well as a 34-affiliate radio network called Japan Radio Network.
TBS produced the game show Takeshi's Castle and has also broadcast the Ultra Series programs and Sasuke (Ninja Warrior), whose format would inspire similar programs outside Japan. TBS is a member of the Mitsui Group keiretsu and highly cooperating with the Mainichi Shimbun despite the latter's lack of shareholding.[citation needed]
TBS was accused of failing to protect its sources in October 1989, when it taped an interview with Tsutsumi Sakamoto about him investigating the Aum Shinrikyo sect. The network secretly showed a video of the interview to Aum members without Sakamoto's knowledge. Aum officials pressured TBS to cancel the planned broadcast of the interview, but Sakamoto, his wife, and child were murdered by Aum members on 3 November.
