Hmm, this is news to me, not too surprising though as there has been a lot of preaired episodes from the network before.

Interesting, I've never actually heard of this being done before (probably due to my, up until recently, ignorance on happenings within each new anime season).

I'm going to keep an eye on this though.

Quite interesting. The Japanese seem oddly loath to stream their series on their home turf, even though the TV broadcasts apparently make almost no profit.

If the TV airings make almost no profit (and are quite often paid for by the production committee), why even use them? They might as well just stream them online.

I believe they are aired on special channels.
