Jubilife TV (Japanese: テレビコトブキ TV Kotobuki) is a television station headquartered in Jubilife City, Sinnoh. Its broadcasts reach residents across the region, spreading information far and wide.
The headquarters is also home to a daily lottery, where, depending on how much the drawn number matches the Trainer ID number of Pokémon owned by the drawing Trainer, he or she may win a new backdrop for Super Contests, a PP Up, an Exp. Share, a Max Revive, or even, if the numbers match exactly, a Master Ball.
On the second floor, Trainers can dress up their Pokémon using their Accessories. On the third floor, players can see various records set by those they have mixed records with. Additionally, a man on the third floor allows the player to activate Mystery Gift.

Trivia
- The name of the Reporter half of the Interviewers that battle the player on Thursdays is another reference to Something Awful. A "Let's Play" thread of Pokémon Crystal Version, made by RedChocobo, featured a Pokémon Trainer named Roxy traveling across Johto and Kanto. Shortly after beginning her game with the Totodile, Gatorface, Roxy abandoned said flesh-tearing monster of a starter, choosing to instead utilize her newly-caught Wooper, Yippy, throughout the rest of her journey (never even letting it evolve into a Quagsire).[1]
