When it was founded, the company name was Shizuoka Prefectural Television (静岡けんみんテレビ, SKT), and it was affiliated with NNN and ANN, the result of a complicated bidding process which involved two competing press groups. After Shizuoka Daiichi Television founded, Shizuoka Prefectural Television became a sole affiliate of ANN. In 1993, it renamed to Shizuoka Asahi TV.
