The Association of All Japan TV Program Production Companies (ATP), headquartered in Minato Ward, Tokyo, and headed by Board Chairman Yoichi Fukuura from IVS Television Co, Ltd., has a membership of around 120 major TV program production companies based in Tokyo and Osaka. Since the establishment of ATP in 1982, we have consistently worked to improve the quality of television programming in order to advance broadcasting culture and enrich the cultural life of the nation. Our main activities include the ATP Award TV Grand Prix, an annual award project recognizing outstanding television programs-; the TV Program Production Company Joint Career Fair (formerly TV-EXM), held by television program production companies to find and train production personnel; and Tokyo Docs, a forum for promoting international co-production of documentary TV programs.
