For normal tv, as in broadcast stuff and not cable/satellite etc...

There is a fair balance of news, talk shows, soap operas, variety shows, and documentaries.
Depending on the channel, there are also a fair number of children`s shows. (mostly *not* anime)

Anime is generally not all that common, and most shows run one a week. Of course, there are cable/satellite channels that show nothing but anime, but I don`t think that`s different than anywhere else. Plus, in Japan not all that many people subscribe to cable-type tv so it doesn`t really reflect normal television.

The anime and music shows people are familiar with usually are only on once a week, not every day, and not in huge quantities.
