“Never Heard of It”—Former Fuji Announcers Rejecting and Facing Outsider Struggles.

Only Fuji TV

The other commercial TV stations have begun internal investigations, but the results have not yet been announced.

“With the increasing focus on compliance, I’ve never heard of other TV stations besides Fuji TV inviting female announcers to join as companions or hostesses for business dinners. That practice has been thoroughly addressed” (Commercial TV producer).

Meanwhile, on February 6, Shukan Bunshun reported that former Fuji TV programming executive A, who allegedly started the rumors about the station’s shakedown culture, had also invited female announcers from other stations to drinking parties. A is said to have contacted female announcers from Fuji who had connections with announcers from other stations and persistently requested them to bring their colleagues.

Could it be that only Fuji TV has been going against the historical trend?
