The story
The new show ‘News to’ (produced by Yomiuri TV, airing on the Nippon TV network Monday through Friday at 1:55 PM), which premiered on October 5, took sole first place in its time slot for both household and individual ratings in the Kanto and Kansai regions alike during its debut broadcast. The show succeeds ‘Miyaneya,’ with announcer Chiaki Kuroki serving as MC. The result — beating out rivals ‘Gogosuma’ and ‘Toretate!’ by a wide margin — sparked a split debate on 5ch, with some taking the cool-headed view that ‘the first episode gets a congratulatory bump, so we can’t judge its real strength yet,’ and others pointing out that topping the charts with only around 2% in individual ratings just shows how few people are watching TV at all.
New show ‘News to’ posts dominant ratings right out of the gate, trouncing ‘Gogosuma’ and ‘Toretate!’ — a feather in announcer Chiaki Kuroki’s cap

What people said
There's a congratulatory bump for the first episode, so we can't judge its real strength yet
Better ratings than a primetime drama
We're talking like 1 million concurrent viewers territory here
Heard Murakami was Miyane's successor, but he's only on Fridays lol
That's way too thin — no budget or what?
Yeah, I was also surprised Murakami was taking on a daily afternoon slot
Once a week is pretty underwhelming though
Don't the viewers get sick of it?
If it keeps this up through the end of the year, that'd be impressive though
Gogosuma basically turned into a weather program at this point
The other day they stretched a weather topic out for a whole hour
Everything else is just boring filler
I'd seen Umeda before on pro baseball news, but had no idea who Miyane was
They called him the face of Kansai mornings back then
I remember that
I also only knew Umeda and was like 'who's this Miyane guy'
Never thought the gap between them would end up this huge
'A feather in their cap' is such an old-fashioned phrase
Is the writer some old guy?
These days young staff get their copy corrected and just run with it
So young people end up picking up these silly old phrases
The ones who obsess over whether a word is 'old' or 'new' are the real old geezers
She's only on as sub-MC on Fridays I think
Takeshi Mori was on 'Zoom In Asa' and '2-ji no Wide Show'
Hideki Hanekawa also hosted '2-ji no Wide Show'
But '2-ji no Wide Show' actually wasn't networked in some regions like Hokkaido
Probably depends on how she plays off the panelists
Among Yomiuri announcers, Akihiro Nomura is from Amagasaki and a Tokyo University grad
The Shinbo family's home turf is Kishiwada City in the Senshu area of Kinai, and his parents and older brother are from Osaka Prefecture
But Jiro Shinbo himself was born in Tottori Prefecture due to his parents' job transfer and grew up in Saitama
Most people with the Shinbo surname are concentrated in Kishiwada City, but Jiro Shinbo lives in Hirakata City in Kitakawachi

You think 'oh, she's nice!' and Google her
Only to find she's been married for ages
Married female announcers probably go over better with the housewife demographic anyway
Checked TVAL yesterday and Gogosuma was back on top
Guess everyone just tuned in for the first day
Background and Key Points of This Topic
Television ratings come in two types: “household” ratings (the percentage of households with the TV turned on) and “individual” ratings (the percentage of people actually watching). A new show’s debut episode is said to typically get a temporary boost from a kind of congratulatory bump. The thread split between those arguing that this bump means the show’s true strength is still unknown, and those who saw the low absolute numbers themselves — household ratings in the 4% range, individual ratings around 2% — as a sign of Japan’s broader drift away from television. Another focus was the MC handover from Seiji Miyane to announcer Chiaki Kuroki as the show succeeded ‘Miyaneya,’ prompting comparisons with the careers of fellow Yomiuri TV alumni announcers like Jiro Shinbo and Hiromi Kawada. Notably, posters later reported that TVAL data from just a few days afterward showed ‘Gogosuma’ back on top — a detail easy for readers to miss, underscoring that whether the strong debut ratings hold up depends entirely on the numbers still to come.
