, and KBC Television. In October 1966, Fuji launched FNN (Fuji News Network), the third national TV network, with Fuji-produced national news programming being aired to the network's affiliates in regional Japan. On April 1, 1986, Fuji TV changed their corporate logo from the old "Channel 8" logo, to the "Medama" logo used by the Fujisankei Communications Group. In 1986 and 1987, Fuji TV worked with Nintendo to create two games called '' All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros.'' and '' Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic'' for the Famicom. All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros. was a retooled version of ''

'' with some minor changes, such as normal levels being replaced with levels from '' Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' and some enemies being replaced with Japanese celebrities with comedic effect. '' Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic'' later became the basis for '' Super Mario Bros. 2'', which was subsequently released a year later. In October 1987, Fuji TV began branding their late-night/early-morning slots collectively as JOCX-TV2 (meaning "alternative JOCX-TV") in an effort to market the traditionally unprofitable time slots and give opportunities to young creators to express their new ideas. JOCX-TV2 featured numerous experimental programs on low budgets under this and follow-on brands, a notable example being '' Zuiikin' English'' which first aired in spring 1992. The JOCX-TV2 branding itself was changed in October 1989 to JOCX-TV+, which lasted until September 1991, when it was replaced with GARDEN/JOCX-MIDNIGHT in October 1991. Meanwhile, Fuji TV helped produce only the third series of the British children's television programme ''Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends'' (now called ''
