Yomiuri TV will also terminate “Asapara”, “Spoiler”, and “Wake” next spring, and NTV will proceed with “bold” reforms.

Nikkan Sports reported that the popular Nippon Television program “Matrix no Neru Koushusho” (Sundays at 9:00 p.m.) will end in March 2013. In response to the interview, Nippon TV said

However, the program, which lasted for about 23 years, is scheduled to end in March 2013.

However, there is a strong possibility that the long-running program, which has continued for about 23 years, will come to an end.

Meanwhile, Yomiuri TV, an affiliate of NTV, will also be terminating its “famous programs” one after another, according to a source close to the matter.

The popular variety show “Asa Para S” (Saturdays at 9:25) will end at the end of March.

Imada’s comments made the Internet news every week.

The predecessor program “Asa Para! is a long-running program that has been running since April 6, 1996, if you include the ‘ In March 2009, the program was renewed under the title of “new program,” but it too will finally come to an end, bringing an end to its 29-year history.

In the previous “Asa Para! was hosted by three MCs: High Heels and Shunichi Kawai, former captain of the All-Japan men’s volleyball team.

I think it’s a matter of cost performance. While the ratings have been sluggish, several Yoshimoto-affiliated talents have appeared on the show, including High Heels. High Heel’s fee is very expensive, so we asked Mr. Kawai to leave the show when it became “Asa para S,” but I think the reason is that the viewer ratings have not improved. A new program for this slot is being considered, but it has not been decided yet.

Furthermore, Yomiuri TV is planning a major reform of its Saturday programming at this time.

The talk variety show “Koji Imada’s Spoiler MTG” (Saturdays, 11:55 -), which airs after “Asa para S,” will also be discontinued next spring. This program will be called “Tokuso! Yoshimoto: Imada & Hachimitsu no Oshaberi Jungle” in October 2012, and had been a popular program for over 10 years.

The show mainly deals with seasonal news and trends, and we talk about them in the studio. The show was highly rated in the industry, and what Mr. Imada and others talked about made the Internet news every week. The program also has a lot of comedians from Yoshimoto, so expenses are high. The new program will be a news program as well.

What is even more shocking to the company is that “Wake Up” (Saturdays at 8:00) will also be terminated at the end of March next year. This program will be on a nationwide network, and its MC will be Yomiuri TV’s Shinobu Nakatani. Jiro Shimbo used to be the MC.

For a while, we had attorney Shuya Nomura join us as MC, but things didn’t go so well and he left early. Since it was one of the few nationally broadcast programs on Yomiuri TV, many people in the company regretted it. It will be reborn as a new information program with a different time slot,” said a Yomiuri TV source.

Yomiuri TV changed its structure to a new president, Yozo Matsuda, in June of this year. Furthermore, starting next April, Nippon Television Holdings (HD) will merge with the four core NTV affiliates, Sapporo Television Broadcasting, Chukyo Television Broadcasting, Yomiuri Telecasting, and Fukuoka Broadcasting. The purpose of the merger is to stabilize the management base by promoting the expansion of merits of scale and efficiency while making the most of the individuality of each station.

The merger will likely result in NTV taking over the nationally broadcast slot for “Wake Up,” and for YTV, the reduction in the number of programs it produces will be quite painful. That is how severe the pressure on NTV must be. Although the four companies have merged their operations in order to survive, there is no concrete vision for the future, and there is widespread anxiety among employees. At this rate, Nittele’s “domination of key station affiliates” may be proceeding in the opposite direction.

Unprecedented” Programming Revamping by Nittele Affiliates

According to a November 19 report in Bunshun Online, Nittele’s “Zoom in Saturday‼” will end next spring, and “Shuichi,” which airs every Sunday morning, will be broadcast twice a week on Saturday as well, and may become a program called “Shuuni. It seems highly likely that the “Wake Up” slot will also be absorbed into “Shuni.

When we asked Yomiuri TV to confirm the facts about the termination of “Asapara,” “Spoiler,” and “Wake Up” at the end of March next spring, they replied, “We cannot answer that question,

The answer was, “We cannot answer that question.

The answer was, “We are unable to answer that.

In the TV industry, which is said to be in a remarkable decline, NTV has taken the lead in making major reforms. In addition to the merger of its four affiliate stations, it appears that NTV is also embarking on an “unprecedented” reorganization of its programming. In addition to the April reorganization, the year 2013 will be a rush of “discontinuation → new programs” for the NTV affiliates. Other stations will also be watching Nittele’s moves closely. Other stations are also keeping a close eye on Nittele’s moves,” said a Tokyo-based TV station official.

Naturally, a major change in the organization will also lead to more intense leveraging. NTV is likely to start with Saturday and Sunday, but who will “laugh” and who will “cry”?
