The story
Yomiuri TV’s new program “News to” (weekdays at 1:55 PM) began airing on October 6. The MC is announcer Chiaki Kuroki, and on the first episode five commentators appeared, including Tomio Umezawa and Nao of Maximum the Hormone. On 5ch, because the time slot and the vibe of the lineup resembled the station’s longtime flagship show “Joho Live Miyane-ya,” the label “Miyane-ya without Miyane” spread quickly, and opinions split over whether the show actually feels fresh and how to read the first episode’s ratings.

The new Nippon TV-affiliated, Yomiuri TV-produced program “News to” (Mon-Fri, 1:55 PM) aired live on the 6th.
At the top of the show, the station’s Monday-to-Thursday MC, announcer Chiaki Kuroki (32), introduced Tuesday’s commentators. Five guests appeared: Tomio Umezawa; Nao, drummer/vocalist of Maximum the Hormone; education advisor Akihiro Shimizu; Bungei Shunju’s Rina Kuroiwa; and lawyer Shuya Nomura, a professor at Chuo University’s law school.

What people said
Other way around — Miyane just wanted to quit.
Also, Gadarukanaru Taka and Akari Suda got cut too.
The MC's trying too hard — her voice is grating.
Misaki Ohnita is more popular.
I like Mao Hayashi better.
I think I'll watch this over Gogosuma.
Why did Miyane quit anyway?
He was originally just a regular salaryman, so maybe it feels like hitting retirement age for him.
It's the commentator lineup that's awful.
They should all just be actual experts.
Dumb move — they should've swapped out the whole cast, at least for the first stretch.
That's why the Yomiuri TV president is raving about her — she's the network's top-pick announcer.
Nakayama said his schedule book is completely blank now.
"News to" just doesn't click for me.
Since it's Kuroki, something like "Itte Iinkai Every Day" would've made more sense…
Also, in Nagoya, Aibou (Partners) is strong lol
Overtaken? It was only a 1% gap from the very start.
It's broadcast live from a Yomiuri TV studio.
In real-time ratings it got crushed by a huge margin though. Strange, isn't it.
Yeah, I bet they saved a ton.
Background and Key Points of the Debate
“News to” is Yomiuri TV’s newly launched daily program, and because its weekday-afternoon slot and its format of bringing on commentators closely resemble the station’s longtime flagship show “Joho Live Miyane-ya,” the framing “Miyane-ya without Miyane” stood out on 5ch. The thread split mainly into two camps: one frustrated that the number and selection of commentators hasn’t really changed (questioning whether the show feels genuinely new), and the other debating the first episode’s ratings, with some calling them strong and others pointing out that in real-time ratings the show was running neck-and-neck with a rival station. The article itself doesn’t go into the actual circumstances behind Shinji Miyane’s departure from the show, so the thread’s guess that it was “something like hitting retirement age” should be treated as unverified speculation, not confirmed fact.
