It has become a TV that broadcasts works by AI creators from around the world 24/7! In November 2026, the internet TV 'AiCuTV', which introduces entries for the 'International AI Creator Award 2026' hosted by AICU Inc., has started broadcasting. The program is delivered by the broadcasting club of six people from the idol project 'AiCuty' created by humans and AI. https://aicu.ai/award/2026/aicutv/
AiCuty Broadcasting Club, now on air!
Elena Bloom: "Hello everyone! It's Elena. Today, we have an important announcement from us. Um, well... we've decided to start a TV program...!"
Mei Soleil: "Yay!! It's finally launched! It's called 'AiCuTV'! It broadcasts works by AI creators from around the world 24/7!"
Marsha Arancia: "¡Hola! This is Marsha! This isn't just a video site. Works gathered from all over the world become a single program schedule and reach everyone's screens at the same time. Wait, isn't that amazing!? I want to feature it!"
Nao Verde: "It's already a feature, Marsha."
Saki Noire: "...So, what's playing now?"
Mina Azure: "Now, let the six members of the broadcasting club introduce how to enjoy AiCuTV."
When I turned on the TV, a work by someone I don't know started.
Elena: "First, please open this page. No complicated operations are necessary♪"
Work No. A26M-5 'Mitete' by Akito — View in Gallery
Mei: "When you open it, the work is playing right away! It's okay to join in the middle. Just like regular TV, you can jump into the program currently broadcasting!"
Saki: "When you open it thinking you'll watch a movie, a music video might be playing. Next might be a foreign short film. You might encounter works you wouldn't have searched for yourself by chance. That's nice. It's like 'TV'!"
Marsha: "That's right! A gallery is a place where you choose works yourself. But TV suddenly takes you into someone else's world. I think this is the most interesting!"
Video works will be broadcast in their entirety without being cut or reduced to a digest. Long works over 45 minutes can also be thoroughly enjoyed in the late-night slot.
Manga, books, and services, appearing on TV!?
Mei: "Hey, Mina! TV is for playing videos, right? What about non-moving works like manga and books?"
Mina: "That's a good question. On AiCuTV, we also introduce works without video. For illustrations, comics, publications, services, etc., we display a representative image on the full screen, and we AiCuty introduce them with audio."
Elena: "Based on introductory articles and application outlines for each field, we convey the highlights of the works. I would be happy if even a little of what the creators cherish comes across♪"
Marsha: "The era of books appearing on television! ZINEs and published works also have their own airtime. Just thinking about the cover appearing on a big screen is exciting!"
Turn on notifications when you find a program you want to watch!
Mei: "I really want everyone to use the notification feature! Check out the program guide on the right!"
Mina: "The program schedule displays broadcast times, work titles, author names, playback times, etc. If you find a program you're interested in, you can use the '🔔 Notify 5 minutes before' feature."
Elena: "If you're asked for permission for notifications from your browser, please allow it. Keeping the screen open will notify you of the start of the program you've been looking forward to."
Nao: "Even if you're not watching the screen all the time, you can check the time of works you're interested in. However, to receive notifications, be mindful of your browser's notification settings and keep the page open."
Saki: "It's nice to be able to promise to watch the works."
Creators, try to find your own program!
Marsha: "And to all the creators who submitted to the Award! Your work also has a broadcast time. Please, try to find your program!"
Mina: "When you log in to AiCuTV, your submitted works are marked on the program schedule. You can check the broadcast schedule of your works, and if you allow notifications and keep the screen open, you'll receive a notice about 10 minutes before the broadcast."
Mei: "Isn't it amazing that your work can appear on TV? Tell your friends too!"
Elena: "There's a search function at the top of the gallery! Furthermore, detailed guidance on how to find broadcast schedules and use notifications will be sent by email to all creators. Please check it out."
Mina: "Broadcasts are planned not only in Japanese but also in English versions."
Marsha: "Invite your friends, family, and fans to watch together when your work is broadcast! It's a screening with an audience all over the world!"
Program schedule of the day
Mina: The program is organized in segments of 25 or 50 minutes. Works from the same field continue, and when the field changes, AiCuty introduces the next field.
| Time (Japan time) | Program |
|---|---|
| 2:00〜5:00 | Short introduction (English) — All works in 3 hours |
| 12:00〜15:00 | Short Introduction (Japanese) — All works in 3 hours |
| Friday 15:50〜16:50 | Award Ceremony Rehearsal |
| 20:00〜23:00 | Short introduction (English) — All works in 3 hours |
| 23:00〜 | Late night slot — A long work exceeding 45 minutes, one full-length piece per night |
| Other times | Programs by field (25 minutes, 50 minutes) |
Marsha: The short introductions are a time to get to know a little bit about all the works. The English shorts are timed to match lunchtime in America and Europe. Even overseas creators have a time when their works are broadcast.
Mina: The program schedule is reorganized every morning at 9:00 AM (Japan time). Works newly accepted the day before are also added to the program here.
Send emo at the moment you are watching!
Mei: "This is the fun part of AiCuTV! If you watch and feel 'cute!!' or 'amazing!!', send an emo!"
Mina: "emo is a reaction that conveys to the creator that your heart was moved by their work. It is a separate system from the general vote and can be used when you log in."
Mei: "And you know what! If you send an emo at 'this moment!' in the video, it will flow to other people's screens at that timing!"
Saki: "Seeing reactions the moment a favorite cut appears is like a live screening, which is nice."
Nao: "For music videos, reactions might overlap at the chorus or the end. It's like the audience at a music live."
Marsha: "You can also write your impressions, and those comments remain on the gallery page of the work. The broadcast flows, but the words someone received from the work remain. I love that part!"
The program schedule changes daily. There will also be an award ceremony rehearsal on Friday!
Mina: "AiCuTV is scheduled 24 hours a day. Normally, we organize programs of 25 or 50 minutes by field. The program schedule is updated every morning at 9 AM, Japan time."
From 12:00 to 15:00 Japan time, we will broadcast a Japanese short introduction covering all works in about 3 hours. The English version will be at 2:00 to 5:00 and 20:00 to 23:00. After 23:00, there is also a late-night slot where you can enjoy full-length long works.
Marsha: "It's nice to have both Japanese and English. There is a time for creators from around the world to have their works broadcast."
Elena: "And, every Friday from 15:50 to 16:50, there is a special program!"
Mina: "I'm looking forward to the award ceremony held at INTER BEE IGNITION at Makuhari Messe on Friday, November 20th."
Elena: "Isn't it tough to do a live broadcast from the exhibition venue!?"
Saki: "It's precisely because it's a high-difficulty challenge that collaboration between AI and humans is tested."
Nao: "AIDX Lab, which is in charge of development, is creating a system to deliver everyone's works while battling hackers every day!"
Introductions of works in each field will continue!
Marsha: "If you watch the program and think, 'I want to know more about this work!' please check out the gallery!"
Mina: "The International AI Creator Award 2026 consists of 10 fields. On AiCuTV, programs are organized by field, but AICU media will also introduce works from each field in order."
Elena: "Following the first publication field, we will also release introductions of works from other fields. Watching the program after knowing the background and highlights of the works might lead to new discoveries♪"
Saki: "Not just videos, but music, manga, games, services... The way to enjoy works differs if the genre is different."
Marsha: "Because it's a place where everything can be the star, I want to introduce each one carefully. The joy of searching for works you haven't encountered yet will continue!"
Here is the article introducing the works.

Elena: "In this way, we AiCuty have become a broadcasting club delivering works from around the world. Please come visit us sometime."
Nao: "There are new encounters with works 24 hours a day. It's fun to come across music and videos you didn't know about."
Saki: "Both the works you already like and the ones you haven't come to like yet are surely there."
Mei: "First, gather at AiCuTV! If you find a program you're interested in, turn on notifications! Watch with friends and send lots of emos!"
Mina: "Authors, please look for the time your work will be aired. Detailed guidance will also be delivered by email."
