The '''Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|週刊ポケモン放送局|しゅうかん　ポケモン　ほうそうきょく}}''' ''Shūkan Pokémon Hōsōkyoku''), also known as '''Hōsō''', was a show that aired every Tuesday night on [[TV Tokyo]] from October 15, 2002 to September 28, 2004. It was preceded by [[Pocket Monsters Encore]] and succeeded by [[Pokémon Sunday]]. The episodes were hosted by {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}, who just introduced the episode and closed the episode.

It used [[Marching March]] as its ending theme.

==Episode types==
There were three types of episode:

* '''Variety shows''': These would often include episode clips and live action segments featuring {{wp|KABA.chan}}, a Japanese celebrity who came out as a transgender woman in the mid-2010's, dressed in a {{p|Treecko}} suit, and a random group of elementary school children. KABA.chan, who is probably best known to non-Japanese for her cameos in [[M07|Destiny Deoxys]], including a scene where she got on a train moments before leaving, played a major role in most of the variety show episodes.
* '''[[Pocket Monsters Encore|Encore]]''' -  Sometimes, an old episode would be rerun, and other times full-length movies and TV specials would be aired.  Many times these episodes would be requested by fans.
* '''[[Side story episodes|Side stories]]''' - New animated episodes featuring recurring side characters such as the [[Pichu Brothers]], {{an|Casey}} and [[Ritchie]]. These episodes were dubbed into English for the series [[Pokémon Chronicles]]. These special episodes are commonly referred to by fans as "Hosos" or "Housous", a derivative of the show's title.

There were 91 episodes in total.

==Opening animation==
The series did not use a lyrical musical opening like its animated series counterpart. The 10-second CGI clip showing an 8-story high 'TV Pokémon' building is displayed while an announcer introduces the show. A large Poké Ball is on the top of the building. Just before the clip ends, the Poké Ball opens and is converted into a satellite antenna. The Poké Ball antenna then shows electric bolts, signifying that it is transmitting, and the logo appears on screen. The building then fades out and, Misty and Brock appear and introduce the clips for the day's episode.

==Characters==
* {{an|Misty}} (カスミ ''Kasumi'')
* {{an|Brock}} (タケシ ''Takeshi'')
* Treecko's Tail (キモリのシッポ ''Kimori no Shippo'')
** {{p|Treecko}} (キモリ ''Kimori'')
** KABA-chan (KABA.ちゃん)
** Manami Aihara (相原真奈美)
** Eraibā (エライバー)
* Shio Koshō (塩コショー)
