<h2><span class="strongInContent"> Is this going to cause a firestorm?</span></h2>
<p> The curtain comes down on 20 years of history.</p>
<p> Information Live Miyaneya&#8221; (produced by NTV affiliate Yomiuri TV), hosted by freelance announcer Seiji Miyane (62), will end with the October season&#8217;s reorganization, &#8220;Josei Seven Plus&#8221; reported. This website has also covered the surrounding area, and it seems certain that the program is moving in that direction.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> The program started in July 2006 in the Kansai region, with Miyane, who became freelance at the end of March 2004, as the MC. Later, it was broadcast nationwide.</p>
<p> According to sources, Miyane, who will turn 60 in April 2011, has expressed a desire to try something new, and as a result of discussions, the program is expected to end after 20 years on the air.</p>
<p> As an MC, Miyane gained popularity with her fast-paced talk and sometimes harsh criticism. When the issue of the former Unification Church emerged, she took a clear confrontational stance against the cult and raised the issue while other stations&#8217; information programs were groping for answers.</p>
<p> On the other hand, his words and actions have sometimes caused a firestorm.</p>
<p> In March 2012, he was reported to have smoked on a street in Seoul, South Korea, during his visit to cover the MLB season opener, and he apologized in the program. He was further criticized for bowing with his arms outstretched on his desk.</p>
<p> As the times have changed, his relentless criticism of staff members during live broadcasts has also been increasingly viewed as &#8220;harassment. A TV station official who knows Miyane said</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> &#8220;Miyane is also increasingly puzzled by the question, &#8216;Is this going to cause a firestorm? Miyane is also increasingly perplexed. News and information program producers must adapt to the times. It is not surprising that he is thinking of turning to &#8230;&#8230;.&#8221;</span></p>
<p> He said, &#8220;I am not surprised that they think it is time for .</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> While Miyaneya is ending, &#8220;Mr. Sunday&#8221; (Fuji TV) is scheduled to continue. While Miyaneya is a weekday slot program, Mr. Sunday is a weekly program. A source at the aforementioned TV station said</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> He sometimes complained about his two-base life. In principle, Mr. Sunday should be on once a week.</span></p>
<p> Mr. Sunday once a week in principle would be just right,&#8221; he points out.</p>
<p> In the 2010s, the average household viewer rating in both the Kanto and Kansai regions often exceeded 10% on many days, but in recent years it has barely maintained the current level, and from February, a more fierce competition is expected.</p>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" Miyane&#39;s name is still rising."></div>
<h2><span class="strongInContent">Female announcer who joined the same office as Miyane</span></h2>
<p> Former NTV announcer Genta Aoki (42), who is now a member of Fuji Television&#8217;s information program &#8220;Shunkan Live Totto! (produced by Kansai Telecasting Corporation), a Fuji Television network information program by former NTV anchor Genta Aoki (42), will &#8220;enter&#8221; the national broadcast market on February 25. (produced by Kansai Telecasting Corporation), will join &#8220;Miyaneya&#8221; and Ryoji Ishii (48) of TBS&#8217;s &#8220;Gogosuma&#8221; on weekday afternoons, making for a three-way battle in the afternoon wide show program lineup.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I don&#8217;t think Genta Aoki will suddenly steal the show, but those who are chasing and those who are being chased have different motivations. I think Mr. Miyane had his own thoughts about the fact that two people more than a year older than himself were serving as the &#8220;face&#8221; of information programs at other stations.</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> As for the successor to &#8220;Miyaneya,&#8221; an information program is still the most likely candidate, and the name of a prominent MC is also being discussed behind the scenes.</p>
<p> One of them is Mayuko Wakuda, 37, who is reportedly leaving NHK this spring.</p>
<p> Nippon TV&#8217;s music program &#8220;with MUSIC,&#8221; hosted by NHK&#8217;s &#8220;senior&#8221; Yumiko Arido (56), will end this spring due to low viewer ratings. After leaving NHK, Wakuda is reported to appear in a new news program in the same slot.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> She will start with a weekly program. Nippon TV has high expectations for her, and we hope that she will eventually be assigned to a weekday news program. It would not be surprising if she is considered for the successor to Miyaneya.</span></p>
<p> Another female name that comes to mind is Erina Iwata, 30, who left NTV this spring to join Miyane&#8217;s entertainment agency Take Off.</p>
<p> She joined Nippon TV in ‛18 after graduating from Keio University, and only six months later she was hired as a facilitator for &#8220;Sekai Maruhei TV Special Investigation Department! TV Special Investigation Department. She is currently the Sunday MC of the morning information program &#8220;Shuichi.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Iwata originally wanted to be a news analyst. Although she has less punch than Wakuda, she has been called &#8220;the next ace of Nippon TV,&#8221; so she is known for her stability. The fact that she works at the same office as Miyane-san will also work to her advantage. Even if he is not the main MC, it is possible that he will be involved in a new program.</span></p>
<p> The end of &#8220;Miyaneya,&#8221; which established an era, is likely to bring about a major change in the afternoon wide show lineup.</p>
