Landon Network

Landon Network (now called LN) is an American commercial broadcast television network. The network is owned by Fuji Television USA Inc and is headquartered at Burbank, CA. This is the flagship network of Fuji Television USA.

History
The network had launched in 1976 after the founder of Landon Studios felt that he was getting paid little by the other commercial networks, so he decided to make his own network and give the producers of his programming the money they deserve.

Landon Network had a very rough start with little programming, most good shows didn't come on until 6pm. That's when Marke hired Mano Kagehisa (Sherman's father) to be the President of the network in 1985. Mano had gotten in contact with the BBC & ITV and asked to air their content on Landon Network, they ultimately agreed and that's how Doctor Who & Downtown Abbey aired on the network without American edits.

In 1987, Mano tried making original shows for the network with his talented daughter (most have failed except for Landon). Landon was a smash hit for Landon Network, even beating Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon when they launched on Fuji TV & TV Asahi respectively. Landon still continues to air on Landon Network to this day, having shifted networks a lot from CBS to The WB to The CW to Comedy Central and then back to CBS again starting with Season 31.

The success of Landon made way for a lot more anime & originals for the channel which put it on the map.

As of 2021, Landon, Zina Supermoon, and Lady Liberty have been the three most successful shows in the network's history.

The network is now owned by NBC and is a complimentary network to it
