TV Tokyo wasn't actually called "TV Tokyo" until October of 1981. For this reason, I make a motion that anything broadcast on the network prior to October 1981 should have "Tokyo 12" listed as the broadcaster, and anything on or after Oct. '81 (including Superbook [both] and "The Flying House") have "TV Tokyo" listed as the broadcaster. I bring this up because Ideon is listed as being broadcast from 1980-5-08 to 1981-01-30, but has "TV Tokyo" as it's broadcaster (and again, they weren't called TV Tokyo at the time), and since I can't look through EVERY entry (well, I could, but it would take too long), and since I can't correct the existing entry, I've decided to bring this up.

On a related note, I saw a separate listing for "Tokyo 12 Channel" (Kagaku Bokentai Tansar 5). Even though "Tokyo 12 Channel" was the network's full formal name at the time, I suggest that the listing be merged with "Tokyo 12" since the latter has the most shows listed.

So, this is what I think should be done.

I'm hoping that a future feature on the encyclopedia will allow us to give Companies multiple names (like we do for people) such that projects done by subsidiaries and past names can be listed as such.

Ie:

TV Tokyo:
Broadcaster: Superbook (TV)
Broadcaster: The Flying House (TV)
....

Tokyo 12:
Broadcaster: Some other show


TV Tokyo Prod.:
Production: some show


And perhaps a description of each company (pseudonym, subsidiary, merger, etc...).

forgot to add, that right now its not possible. We can only merge the two at which point Tokyo 12 would becoem "TV Tokyo".
