While there may not be all that much American stuff on - I think you may find that you`re very wrong about the position of television in Japanese culture. It seems like most people have the tv on constantly. A lot of people find it weird for there not to be a tv on in the background.
The recent NHK drama had a part taking place in the local castle. People were coming from all around the country to visit because of that.
While American television might not be taking the top - just check out stuff like 冬のソナタ and the way it was/is almost worshiped.
