== Overview ==

WOWOW was the first 24/7, 3 channel, full high-definition broadcaster in Japan.〔http://www.wowow.co.jp/info_e/history.html〕
WOWOW began broadcasting in analog on April 1, 1991. Digital broadcasting began on December 1, 2000. The network began with 207,753 subscribers (31.5 billion yen in sales), growing to 2,667,414 two years later (64.5 billion yen in sales). As of December 2011, WOWOW claimed approximately 2.56 million subscribers to its digital service.〔WOWOW Inc. (2011). (Business Summary: Subscription. ) Accessed on January 31, 2012.〕 On July 24, 2011, WOWOW shut down its analog broadcast.
WOWOW mostly rebroadcasts movies, but is also well known for showing (and even co-producing and/or assisting in the production of) original anime series such as ''Big O'', ''Brain Powerd'', ''Carried by the Wind: Tsukikage Ran'', ''Trinity Blood'', ''Cowboy Bebop'' (the complete uncut version), ''Shinreigari/Ghost Hound'', ''Crest of the Stars'', ''Ergo Proxy'', ''X/1999,'' ''SHUFFLE!,'' ''Paranoia Agent'', ''Now and Then, Here and There'' and ''Le Chevalier d'Eon,'' as well as the ''Anime Complex'' block. Due to the looser broadcast standards for satellite television in Japan, WOWOW has become a primary means of widespread distribution for anime with themes or subject matter that the broadcast networks cannot show. Several anime studios have partnership deals for distributing their more mature series, with the famed Studio Madhouse among them.
The channel's name is a double "Wow", and the three W's also stand for "World-Wide-Watching".
WOWOW also broadcasts Japanese-dubbed American television series such as ''Friends'', ''CSI: Crime Scene Investigation'', ''Sex and the City'', ''The Sopranos'', ''Cold Case'', ''Grey's Anatomy'', ''Medium'', ''The 4400'', ''Project Runway'', ''South Park'', and ''The Simpsons'', among others. WOWOW has also screened Ultimate Fighting Championship events for Japanese audiences, the Korean drama ''My Name Is Kim Sam Soon'' and the UK comedy sketch show ''Little Britain'', as well as the British drama/action show ''Ultimate Force'' under the name ''SAS: British Special Forces''.
Previously WOWOW's headquarters were in another facility in Akasaka.〔"(Corporate Information )." WOWOW. April 13, 2008. Retrieved on November 20, 2010. "1-5-8, Moto Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo 107-8080" (Japanese address ): "東京都港区元赤坂1-5-8"〕
