■ Towards a More 'Participatory' TV Experience
Through the app, users will be able to participate in news programs such as 'news every.' and 'Oha!4 NEWS LIVE'. By conducting polls and soliciting posts on the app, we deliver a new viewing experience where your opinions and submissions may be directly reflected in the broadcast.
On 'news every.', we are launching 'Hey, Sora Jiro'. Users will be able to easily send questions to Nippon TV's weather character 'Sora Jiro' from the app. Sora Jiro might even answer your questions live on the program.
*The broadcast start date for 'Hey, Sora Jiro' will be announced at a later date.
*Proposed plans are as of the app's release and are subject to change.
*We plan to sequentially release other interactive projects as well.
■ Quickly Check 'Local' Information with Regional Settings
We pick up local news from the network of 30 NNN-affiliated companies. Simply by setting your current location or hometown in the 'Regional Settings', you can check the latest news from each company at any time via tabs on the top screen.
