The story
Nippon TV’s information variety show “Joho Live Miyaneya” ends on October 2, and the cast for its successor show “News to” has been announced. Hosting duties go to Murakami Shingo and announcer Kuroki Chiaki, with regulars including Kurotani Tomoka, Ishihara Nobuteru, and Anmika — many of whom carried over from Miyaneya. On 5ch, comments piled up saying “there’s no sense of renewal, it feels like déjà vu,” with some questioning the network’s seriousness and others speculating it’s a “stopgap” show ahead of a full lineup overhaul next spring. Discussion also spread to ratings comparisons with competing shows in the same time slot.

What people said
New shows usually swap out panelists to feel fresh, but this one's full of holdovers — guess they're not expecting much from it?
Sounds like they're not even trying — probably already expecting it to flop, so they skipped a real revamp.
There's probably some behind-the-scenes maneuvering between Nippon TV and Yomiuri TV in this too. If it fails, they'll probably do a proper overhaul next time.
Miyane stepped down unilaterally, so the other cast members probably had no choice but to stay on.
TV really never changes at all.
they should just revive the corner from '2-ji no Wide Show' that used to run on 'Be Apple 2-ji'.
They're both gone now — Miyako Chocho and Kandagawa Toshiro.
For a movie-review corner, they could bring in Hamamura Jun.
Katsura Harunosuke (now the 4th-generation Katsura Harudanji) is still around.
They're probably already planning a new show for next April or September — the reason they're stacking it with old-guard talent might just be that the contracts run in one-year spans.
The afternoon movie has way too many commercial breaks, I can't stand it.
I forget what was happening before by the time the ads are over.
That's why it'll probably only run until next March — it's not even a show trying to pull ratings.
They need a standout new character to follow in Horai-san's footsteps.
He's got that grating Kansai-guy vibe where he thinks he's funny even though he's not.
I'd actually watch it if they just reran old dramas instead.
After Nippon TV pulled the plug on 'The Wide,' they ran drama reruns for a while, but instead of reruns of 'Tuesday Suspense Theater,' it was all stuff like 'Nobuta wo Produce' and 'Haken no Hinkaku' — shows nobody watching TV at that hour would actually be into.
It's not that Gogo Suma is strong.
It's basically just weather, so in terms of content and amount of information it always loses to Miyaneya.
It's just that Miyaneya, including Miyane himself, had way too much unwanted personality.
I mean, honestly,
do we even need commentators?
They have no real expertise, they just give their personal opinions.
Background and Key Points
“Miyaneya” is one of Nippon TV’s flagship information shows, ending on October 2. Its successor, “News to,” was announced with Kanjani Eight’s Murakami Shingo and announcer Kuroki Chiaki as hosts, alongside a lineup heavy on holdovers from the old show, including Kurotani Tomoka, Ishihara Nobuteru, and Anmika. What split opinion on the thread was how to read this abundance of returning cast. Some saw it as a sign of a lukewarm relaunch with low ratings expectations, while others speculated it’s a one-year “stopgap” show ahead of a genuine overhaul planned for next spring. There was also a side discussion about the competing show “Gogo Suma” being strong lately in the same time slot, though some pushed back, arguing it’s mostly weather-focused and that Miyaneya actually had more substance and information — it just carried more unwanted personality, including from Miyane himself. Whether the show succeeds will come down to ratings from October 5 onward; for now, this remains just reaction to the cast announcement.
