NHK Educational TV (NHK教育テレビジョン NHK Kyōiku terebijon) 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). NHK displays a watermark "NHK E" at the upper right for its digital TV broadcast. In 2010, NHK began using the abbreviation Eテレ (ītere).
Stations as of March 31, 2007.
For digital TV, the channel can be selected by pressing number 2 on the remote control, for all regions.
