ArgosyMTM Japan



ArgosyMTM Japan is the Japanese unit of ArgosyMTM Group. It is the local distributor of ArgosyMTM Group content, and also operates the ABS multicultural television network, the only of its kind in Japan.

ArgosyMTM Japan was formed in 1976, originally as MTM Enterprises Japan. In 1977, it formed a joint-venture with TV Asahi and various international companies, known as JOBX-TV, which became a founding station of the ABS network ten years later in 1987. By 1997, Shaw Communications (Argosy and MTM’s parent company at the time) acquired the entirety of ABS.
