So will this affect the program in any way? Just curious, I work in radio in the US and if sponsors bail your show is basically cancelled

It basically means that it is not getting any sort of funding for the tv network to operate, without the sponsors it will go into ruin. the fact that sazae is airing without any commercials highlights how bad they are in, cause it is the programme block that has the most household views like 10% average. Honestly after this they really should go. they were basically pimping out underage girls to be used and abused and covering them up. THis network company is the very definitiion of a black evil company that use portrayed in anime and other ''Media'' It is like what happened with the bbc and the jmmy scandal. (i wont go into details, look it up it is disgusting). Last edited by Thespacemaster on Tue Feb 04, 2025 2:44 am; edited 1 time in total |

If this goes on the most likely outcome is that Fuji TV will go under and the popular shows will be picked up after a short hiatus by the vultures (other networks) picking over its bones. Marginal shows will likely die with the network.

This would be like the ensuing drama with the Murdoch trust suddenly leaving The Simpsons in the lurch with no sponsors. The sheer amount of programming being left out to dry here is crazy.
Granted, as others have said, even if the network goes under, odds are the shows get picked up by whoever’s left over and pick up where they left off. |

You know, it’s not directly relevant to this news, but this does make me wonder what ANN’s style policy is for avoiding confusion when reporting on the network TV Asahi is the flagship station of.
Of note, Sazae-san doesn’t just top the anime charts; it’s pretty much Fuji TV’s top program, period. Honestly, I have a hard time imagining how this ends. I’m in the States, and a major broadcast network just going under isn’t something that’s happened in my lifetime. The closest thing was the merger that produced The CW. DuMont only broadcast for a decade and was off the air before my mom was born; Fuji TV’s been around since the 1950s. If the big shows (some of which have kept the same timeslot for decades) migrate to other networks, where are they going to squeeze them into their lineups? What’s going to broadcast on channel 8 in Kanto and Kansai, channel 1 in Nagoya, etc.? |

Oh yeah, I almost forgot that there is a ANN in Japan and yeah, I wouldn't want ANN (the Anime News Network) to have a bit of a conflict with ANN (All-Nippon News Network) in Japan. |

That is my guess. Stuff that is currently airing is just finishing out a contractual obligation, and other networks will have their choice what to get at preferable terms since the shows will be basically backed into a corner. Lots of collateral damage from something that was entirely avoidable by just acting decently. |

While what happened to Hana Kimura was bad.
The allegations here are far worse and not really comparable. |
