History

Japanese superstar Ayumi Hamasaki performing "M (Above & Beyond vocal mix)" live at Velfarre in 2001. (A Channel A Feature)

Channel A (チャンネル エー?) (stylized as channel a) started on October 1, 1998 at 10:00 pm as a 54-minute show. Hosted by Ryo Fukawa and Mika Mifune, it promised a change on Japanese TV programming through segments and documentaries about music, artists, songs and everything about music and entertainment.

The program lasted for three seasons:

  • Season 1 - October 1, 1998 - May 6, 2004
  • Season 2 - May 13, 2004 - March 29, 2007
  • Season 3 - April 5, 2007 - September 24, 2009

Its last episode (573rd) was on September 24, 2009.

A special episode for Channel A's 10th anniversary, The First and Last Big Omnibus Special!~10 Years Between Ratings and Thanks~ (最初で最後の大総集編スペシャル!〰10年間ありがとうございました〰?) was shown last September 3, 2009.
