NTV vs. Yomiuri TV’s “battle without honor” is about to break out behind the backdrop of Miyane’s resignation from “Miyaneya.

The time has finally come.
Josei Seven Plus” reported that “Information Live Miyaneya” (produced by Yomiuri TV and affiliated with Nippon Television Network Corporation), hosted by freelance announcer Seiji Miyane (62), will end with the October season reorganization. According to our own coverage of the situation, it seems certain that this is the direction in which the program is moving.
Not only Josei Seven, but also other media outlets are reporting the departure of Miyane, and the entertainment press is already interested in who will replace her, including Mayuko Wakuda, 37, who left NHK to become independent, and Eri Iwata, who left NTV this spring and will join the same agency as Miyane. Erina Iwata (30), who will leave NTV this spring and join the same agency as Miyane, are among the names being discussed. The pay is huge, and the production companies are beginning to play games with each other.
Normally, a new host would be appointed and a successor program would be created, but it seems that things are not that simple. One person involved with Yomiuri Television said, “Actually, Miyane has been working on two or three shows.
Actually, Mr. Miyane had informed the station of his intention to leave the program two or three years ago, but Yomiuri TV decided not to accept it. But Yomiuri TV was trying very hard to persuade him. So when the news came that he was leaving the program, I felt that the time had finally come. This could be a really difficult time for our company.
He sighs.
The station’s most profitable broadcast slot is now being replaced by a new one.
Miyaneya” has been the top-ranked afternoon wide show for about 20 years in terms of average viewer ratings. Although broadcast nationwide, the program is produced not by the key station NTV, but by Yomiuri TV in Osaka. This “twist” is causing some disquiet as the program comes to an end.
Mr. Miyane’s departure from the program naturally means the end of the program, given the program’s name. At the same time, NTV is sure to press for the return of the “broadcast slot. However, Yomiuri cannot simply hand over the slot, even if it is a request from a key station, since it is the most profitable broadcast slot within the station. The national TV band program from Monday to Friday is such a big business asset.
With Miyane’s departure, the battle for broadcast slots within the Nippon TV Group is about to begin. And if it is in the 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. time slot, where they are at the top of the pack, it is easy to imagine that Nippon TV would be desperate for a slot. It is easy to imagine.
From 14:00 to 16:00 is the time when the world is moving, whether it is politics, events, or entertainment news. From February 25, Fuji Television Network will launch a nationwide broadcast of “Shunkan Live Totto! (produced by Kantele), which will be aired nationwide from February 25, is because it has the advantage of handling live news. Therefore, NTV’s news bureaus have been targeting the “Miyaneya” slot for a long time,” said a source from Nippon TV.
NTV’s “news every.” broadcasts from 3:50 p.m. in the evening. NTV’s “news every.” airs from 3:50 p.m. in the evening and has the highest viewer ratings among commercial TV stations. Therefore, the station seems to have a desire to broadcast a news program produced by the news bureau from the 14:00 time slot until the end of 18:00 in the evening.
The “battle” for the Nippon TV Group’s remaining spots began with the news of Miyane’s resignation. The fierce battle is about to begin behind the scenes.
