High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! NHK Educational TV is the second television service of NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation). It is a sister service of NHK General TV, showing programs of a more educational, cultural or intellectual nature, periodically also showing anime. A similar counterpart would be the Public Broadcasting Service of the United States (or to a lesser extent BBC Two and BBC Four of the UK). The names are often abbreviated to "ETV." NHK uses "NHK E" as well. See also NHK General TV.
