A Message of Gratitude! 'DodeSca!' Achieves #1 Viewer Ratings for the 2025 Fiscal Year! Me-Tele (Nagoya TV Broadcasting)'s morning information program 'DodeSca!' achieved the #1 rating in its time slot for the 2025 fiscal year (April-March) with a 4.1% individual overall viewer rating on weekdays (6-8 AM) and 3.4% on Saturdays (6:30 AM - 7:55 AM). This marks the first time in the station's history that a Me-Tele morning wide program has secured the top spot across both weekdays and Saturdays on an annual basis. Since last October, Ana Komatsuzaki (Mondays-Thursdays) and Ana Ogata (Fridays) have joined as sub-MCs for weekdays. Additionally, the special segment "AmBitious's School Visit!" launched on Tuesdays. The strong performance is attributed to the popularity of the sports corner packed with Dragons information, the weather segment, and the "Today's Top Pick" segment at 7 AM. On Saturdays, led by Ana Shiori Suzuki, who became the main MC last October, the program offers content unique to Saturdays, receiving support from a wide range of generations, particularly families. In Spring 2026, 'DodeSca!' will celebrate its 25th anniversary. Under the theme "Jump Out! Visiting Local Communities for the 25th Year," the program will continue to deliver information even more closely connected to the region.
