TV Kanagawa (テレビ神奈川,Terebi Kanagawa) (tvk for short) is anindependent television station inJapan servingKanagawa Prefecture and parts of theGreater Tokyo Area with favorable reception. The station was founded on April 20, 1971 and began broadcasting on April 1, 1972. Itscall sign is JOKM-DTV (JOKM-TV during the analog broadcasting period) and occupies the UHF channel 18 on the airwaves.

The station is a member of theJapanese Association of Independent Television Stations.

Although there were already five main broadcasters in the Kanto region in the late 1960s, they actually lacked information on what was happening outside the Tokyo Prefecture. Therefore, prefectures in the Kanto region became involved in opening TV stations covering solely their prefectures.^[1]: 6 In 1969, the Ministry of Posts would issue UHF TV licenses for the six Kanto prefectures. Immediately, 12 companies in Kanagawa Prefecture were interested for operating a TV station.^[1]: 7

As an independent station, tvk's programming consists mostly of local information, alternative music (some of whose musicians continue to appear on tvk, even after mainstream success), local sports, educational programmes, andanime.
