Summer Event at TV stations

 Fire-works is one of huge summer event in Japan as its tradition. On a contrary,  there is a new tradition here, especially at Tokyo. 

 Tokyo has all "key" TV stations which provide basic TV programs. Other areas have "local" TV stations which have contracts with the key stations; usually 1 local station has a network contract with 1 key TV station except some super suburbs have 2 keys sometimes. That's the Japan's TV network system as a terrestrial television; of-course there are satellites, cables and web but it's not main streem. The system put more importance to Tokyo, because TV still controlls people in here anyway. And it's easy to understand why the Keys have such huge constructions their own in Tokyo. So, around their vast properties they can  provide huge events over 6 week straight. Such as inviting famouse musicians, restaurants, shops and to sell their own products. That's fun for someone who loves TV, because you may see some TV stars or musicians and buy your favourite TV program's goods. Moreover you may have enjoyable memories in summer. Sounds good, doesn't it?
