The TV World is a location in the Persona series.
Gameplay
Studio
When the protagonist enters the TV World in Persona 4 and Persona 4 Golden, they will be in the studio-looking area that serves as the staging area for activities in the TV World. From the studio, the protagonist can speak to party members to move to the dungeon entrances, talk to the Fox for SP recovery (starting with the Steamy Bathhouse), enter the Velvet Room, save, or leave. Leaving causes time to pass from afternoon to evening. At the entrance level of each dungeon, the protagonist can speak to party members to add them to his party before entering the dungeon.
In Golden, while in the studio, the protagonist can also pet the fox when it is in a good mood after certain dates to get new costumes for party members. For the fox's moods, see the Calendar in Persona 4 Golden.

Game Appearances
Persona 4
The TV World is first visited on April 14th from the large screen TV in the Junes electronics department. It becomes a reoccurring location as the Investigation Team see people on the Midnight Channel and then go into the TV World to rescue them.
Once inside the TV World, the Investigation Team can summon their Personas to fight against Shadows. Typically, Shadows only sense danger from Persona users and are only aggressive to them while leaving non-Persona users alone, hence why the victims who are dropped into the TV World can survive on their own for so long. However, as explained throughout the game first by Teddie and later Ameno-sagiri, the weather in the real world and the TV World is opposite: When the weather is foggy in the real world, then it becomes clear in the TV World. Furthermore, the Shadows hate the truth, and when the fog clears in the TV World, the Shadows go berserk, lash out and attack even non-Persona users, and this leads to the dead bodies that turn up in Inaba.
Over the course of the game, the Investigation Team rescues victims from Yukiko's Castle during April, the Steamy Bathhouse during May/June, Marukyu Striptease during June/July, Void Quest during August, the Secret Laboratory during September/October, and Heaven during November. If the protagonist can identify the true culprit in December, then the team will also access Magatsu Inaba and Magatsu Mandala, leading to the good ending. If the protagonist can also identify who gave him his powers, then the team will gain access to Yomotsu Hirasaka and the true ending. The team's Navigators must first get hints and information about the victims in order to find their presence in the TV World, leading to investigation sequences that require the protagonist to ask about the victims around town before the dungeons unlock. The team's progress is tracked through the Fool and Judgement Social Links.
Persona 4 Golden
During Golden, the protagonist can unlock a new dungeon in the TV World called the Hollow Forest which is accessible on February 13th via a TV at an unnamed ski resort in Inaba.

Trivia
- The TV studio-looking area that serves as the staging area in the TV World was created by the thoughts of Midnight Channel viewers. The floor pattern of the bodies with the white outlines was created by a combination of the protagonists, who had the murder case on their minds when they first entered the TV World, as well as Midnight Channel viewers who wanted to see the murder case unfold.[2]
- The places inside the TV World correspond to real life, and if the protagonists were to enter from a slightly different location than the Junes electronics department, they would end up close to the TV World studio but not in the exact same spot.[3]

- ↑ "スタジオのような入り口広場 テレビ内での集合場所となる入り口広場。ここがテレビのスタジオのような作りになっているのにも理由がある。ゲーム開始時点では、稲羽市の人々は町が寂れていくことで諦めムードになっていて、何かが起こるのを受身で待っている状態。そこにマヨナカテレビの噂も加わり、まるでテレビの前で“面白い番組”が始まるのを待つような状態となっている。そんな人々の想いが、番組を作る場所であるテレビスタジオのイメージを生み出し、無意識下の世界であるテレビの中で具現化したのだ。 なお床一面には、殺人事件で被害者を囲む白線のような模様が広がっているが、これは不特定多数の人々の想いで作られたものではない。おそらく主人公たちが殺人事件を気にかけており、その解決を目指していることから事件現場のようなデザインが加わったのだ。
開発者から一言 床の模様は最初はなかったんですが、ちょっと寂しいなということになり、刑事もので事件が起きてというストーリーを考えたところで、死体を囲む白線をデザインすることにしました。
