Was trying to clean up some variations in studio names, between "Fuji TV" and "Fuji-TV" (the latter of which shouldn't exist, from what I can tell; there's no dashes in the names I've seen so far), and realized there's two other variants on the company name, "Fuji Television" and "Fuji Television Network".

The full, proper name of the company is "Fuji Television Network, Inc."

Its logo/brand is "Fuji TV".

Almost all references on discs and covers are either "Fuji TV" or "Fuji Television".  About 5% of all discs use "Fuji Television Network".

The rules say there shouldn't be variances based on simple semantics, so I was trying to work out which of these is the best option to standardize on.

Other discussions have implied a simple "as credited" approach.

Any opinions on which way it should go?

There is no common name for studios. The data is what it is and the studio credit os historically important. Again whatever the data says, it is. Fuji television network is probably the answer but I would have yo see how it is credited. You offer a mish mash of info that is confusing, we dont credit logos, what does the onscreen say

I mean 'common' like with Twentieth Century vs 20th Century.  A stable form to use for each company name that was agreed on.

Yes, my info is confusing; that's why I'm trying to get second opinions.

On-screen says one of: Fuji TV, Fuji Television, or Fuji Television Network, depending on the disc.  95% of the time it's Fuji TV (presumably the brand name, as it's the same as what's shown on the logo) or Fuji Television, which is why I was hesitant to use Fuji Television Network.

With the exception of Fox, there is no such thing and shouldnt. Studio names are historically important and subject to change with time. Follow the onscreen data

Fuji TV and Fuji Television is the same thing, but the rules tell us not to abbreviate so I'd go with the latter. If you find Fuji Television Network I'm afraid you have to enter it exactly as it is.

Dont be afraid Kino. For example, is it metro Goldwyn Mayer or MGM . It could be either MGM was used from 1968 to approx. 1982. The first film under MGM was 2001. You can track the history of most studios through their name evolution.
