Reference numeral 100 denotes a head end, which has a program-related information storage means 101. In the program-related information storage means 101, program-related information collected from a large number of program supply stations 200a and 200b (coverage place for a certain program, news gathering store, telephone number thereof, song title of song program, CD sales) Company, singer name, etc.) are accumulated. From this program related information,
When reading desired related information, a program related information search signal is given. This program-related information search signal is output from the program-related information selection means 102. The program-related information selection means 102 generates a program-related information search signal for a program corresponding to a request signal from the user. The request signal is a signal received by the CATV communication means 103. The CATV communication means 103 is the CATV communication means 3 provided in the subscriber terminal device 300 owned by the user.
Two-way communication with 01 is possible. When the CATV communication means 103 outputs the program-related information from the program-related information storage means 101, it sends this to the CATV transmission path.
