TOKYO -- Fuji TV will bow Fuji On-Demand, a new Internet service, on April 1.
The new service will start beaming to mobile devices on April 7.
Fuji TV has offered webcasts in co-operation with Internet providers since 2005 but started its own service to better respond to changing viewer needs.
In addition to the 30 programs it is providing to PC viewers, including pro-baseball and horse racing, Fuji will beam six new shows on Fuji On-Demand, including episodes of "24," original yakker "Shopan" and "Skullman," a toon based on a classic comic by Shotaro Ishinomori.
Some shows will be free, while others will be PPV or require a monthly fee.
