TVer is an Android application that allows you to watch popular Japanese TV programs for free. There are major networks, including TV Tokyo, TBS, TV Asahi, Nippon TV, and Fuji TV.
Television programs
The application is an innovative online streaming platform based in Japan. It was established as a collaboration among prominent local networks such as TV Tokyo, TBS, TV Asahi, Nippon TV, and Fuji TV. Its aim is to offer a legal and free alternative for viewers to access popular television programs post the original broadcast.
Similar to 9Now, TVer offers a diverse selection of content. It spans genres like dramas, variety shows, anime, and others. However, a unique feature is the time-bound availability of programs. It means that the content often remains on the platform for only a limited period after its original air date.
Distribution model
To sustain its free service model, TVer relies on AD support. Therefore, you can expect commercial breaks similar to the experience on traditional television. Although the platform can be accessed via both its website and mobile app, it is crucial to note its geographical and language restrictions. Thus, making content available exclusively to audiences in Japan.
