History
Niigata Television Network 21 was established on March 7, 1983 and commenced transmissions on October 1, 1983. Prior to that, TV Asahi programming was seen on NST. NST was affiliated to FNN, NNN and ANN, before alleviating the station's network schedule with the launch of TNN (now TeNY), which took over the NNN affiliation in 1981 and NT21, which took over the ANN affiliation in 1983. By then, Niigata now had four network stations.
Digital terrestrial transmissions commenced on August 1, 2006. To make the occasion, NT21 was rebranded as ux. Currently the station, apart from airing TV Asahi shows, also airs a few TV Tokyo shows, because the network does not have a station in most prefectures.
