JOOY-DTV (channel 4), branded as MBS TV (MBS（エムビーエス）テレビ, Emubīesu Terebī) or Mainichi Broadcasting System (毎日放送, Mainichi Hōsō) (formerly known as Mainichi Broadcasting System Television^[a] from 1959 to 2011), is a Japanese television station serving as the Kansai region key station of the Japan News Network, owned-and-operated by Mainichi Broadcasting System, Inc.^[b] a subsidiary of MBS Media Holdings with its studios being based in the Kita-ku ward of Osaka.

From its sign on in 1959 to 2021, MBS operated as a unified broadcaster, with its radio and television operations being intact until 2017 when a major restructuring caused the operations to be held under the second incarnation of MBS. In 2021, the radio division was spun-off as a separate wholly-owned subsidiary.
