In Japan, NHK has relaunched its satellite channels. NHK BS1 is now NHK BS, BS4K is now BS Premium 4K

Some context here: NHK closed one of the HD feeds on their satellite TV service, notably NHK BS Premium (mainly as a cost saving measure), while the UHD station, NHK BS 4K, is now used as a permanent service, transferring the content on BS Premium to the UHD feed. NHK BS8K is still on the air for now.

Despite NHK stopping regular programming on BS Premium, it seems the channel is being utilized again, albeit only temporarily. After the recent earthquake, the broadcaster would start airing a simulcast of Kanazawa (Ishikawa) opt-out of NHK General TV from January 12, as relay transmitters in the affected areas were either badly damaged or had run out of backup fuel for their generators.

Prior to the decision of having a full simulcast, it was supposed to air only select news programming aired on NHK General TV (both nationally and on the Kanazawa opt-out) between January 9-11.

Here's how the first full news bulletin from Kanazawa opt-out of NHK General went on air on the former BS Premium.
