TV Tokyo will begin broadcasting "Morning Satellite Saturday" from 10:00 AM on Saturday, April 4th. Under the concept of "Staying one step ahead while the world rests," this program connects live with New York and Washington to deliver world-moving news that frequently occurs from late Friday night to early Saturday morning Japan time, along with corresponding market movements, accompanied by experts. Its greatest feature is a new partnership with the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). This makes it possible to deliver Wall Street's real interests and latest information. While being a full-fledged economic news program, the content is designed to be enjoyed casually.
The cast includes TV Tokyo anchor Akane Katafuchi, who continues reporting from her post in New York to bring the latest global information. In the Tokyo studio, Tatsuo Yamakawa (TV Tokyo commentator currently appearing on WBS), TV Tokyo announcers Momoka Mine and Akira Saito, along with economists and economic experts, will provide an outlook for the coming week.
### Comments and recent photos have arrived from Akane Katafuchi, currently stationed in NY!!
**■ Comment from Akane Katafuchi (TV Tokyo News Bureau Anchor)**
I feel that important news moving the world is increasingly concentrated on the weekends. Recently, market-shaking events such as the unconstitutional ruling on Trump's tariffs and the growing tension in the Middle East have occurred successively over the weekend. Saturday morning in Japan is Friday night in New York. In America, there is a term called the "Friday News Dump," where a flood of news is released just before the weekend when public and market reactions are less immediate. We will bring you the latest global information with full intensity without waiting for the new week, so please look forward to it.
