To be more specific about my question, are there any anime only T.V. channels in Japan? Is it pretty common for someone with cable/satellite to have channels with nothing but pure anime (i.e. no live action or shows with actual people)?
And if there is, then is it mixed maturity wise or are a few only for adults or young adults? Also one last question; would you happen to know the name of that channel or channels that airs the more popular shows? (i.e. Naruto and Bleach being the ongoing series, or previous popular shows like Mushi-shi, Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya etc.)
Arigato :D
How commonly is anime aired in japan?

To my knowledge...
There are no ONLY ANIME TV if don't have cable/satellite. If you do, I would assume there may be a channel that shows lots of anime, all day.
NARUTO is only shown through CS Digital Broadcasting (also know as Skapa for SKY PERFECTV) and here's some times for NARUTO:
