Kumamoto Asahi Broadcasting Introduces "StoryHub" to Both News Production and Digital Editing Departments

StoryHub Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director CEO: Shota Tajima; hereinafter "the Company") announces that its all-in-one AI editing assistant "StoryHub" has been introduced to Kumamoto Asahi Broadcasting Co., Ltd.'s (Headquarters: Kumamoto City, Kumamoto Prefecture; hereinafter "Kumamoto Asahi Broadcasting") News Information Center. ■ Background of Kumamoto Asahi Broadcasting's StoryHub Adoption Kumamoto Asahi Broadcasting is a local TV station affiliated with TV Asahi, broadcasting in Kumamoto Prefecture. Its News Information Center has both a News Production Department and a Digital Editing Department, each facing different challenges. In the News Production Department, transcribing entire interviews was indispensable for producing long documentaries and special feature VTRs, but transcription work had become routine, placing a significant burden on reporters. Furthermore, due to security concerns, there was a demand for an AI tool that could handle highly confidential information, such as court judgments. In the Digital Editing Department, newly established in April 2024 with a small team of two dedicated staff, there was an urgent need to expand content for the website renewal scheduled for October of the same year. Although they wanted to create articles from information programs' gourmet features and outing information, it was difficult to do so with limited resources, as it required writing articles from scratch while watching videos. ■ Utilization of StoryHub at Kumamoto Asahi Broadcasting To solve these challenges, Kumamoto Asahi Broadcasting introduced StoryHub. In addition to its proven track record at affiliated station Yamaguchi Asahi Broadcasting, StoryHub was highly evaluated for its high-quality output by a development team deeply familiar with media operations and its secure environment. In the News Production Department, StoryHub is primarily used for transcribing long feature videos. By uploading video files overnight, high-accuracy transcriptions are completed by the next morning. It is also used for summarizing lengthy administrative documents, and the automatically generated items are useful for creating news headlines. In the Digital Editing Department, it is used for creating articles from information program gourmet features and independently reported interview videos. The time required to create an article from a 10-minute feature video has been significantly reduced from the conventional 3-4 hours to within 1 hour. The ability to work in parallel has resulted in an effect equivalent to increasing the number of writers by one. This has enabled continuous delivery of information-based content on the renewed website. Furthermore, the potential for its use in rapid reporting during disasters has been confirmed, and they are considering expanding its use to generate breaking news articles by inputting information announced by local governments.
