Four news and current affairs based programmes from Japan's leading broadcaster NHK have been signed up for telecast on MTV and Sirasa TV.

The four programmes "NHK Newswatch", "NHK Newsline", "Weekend Japanology" and "What's on Japan" are produced in English and offer valuable insight into the life and culture of Japan along with important headline news from Asia and across the world.

"NHK Newswatch" telecast at 7.30 a.m. from Tuesday to Friday on MTV is a 25-minute digest of the major news of the day in Japan and abroad.

"NHK Newsline" telecast at 8.30 a.m. from Monday to Friday on MTV is a 10-minute English news program that gives a full and detailed coverage of fast changing developments both in Japan and abroad. "Weekend Japanology" telecast at 4.15 p.m. on Fridays on Sirasa TV is a new English program for worldwide broadcast, that brings often-neglected aspects of the Japanese society and culture into light. The entire program is a complete breakaway from stereotyped images of Japan and its people.

"What's on Japan", telecast at 4.15 p.m. on Sundays on Sirasa TV is a chatty 45-minute news and information program conveying various aspects of Japan and Japanese culture.

The program probes deeply into current events and also provides clear and lucid explanations of the background in fields ranging from fashion and social conditions to cultural traditions, pop culture, and the full spectrum of Japanese customs and manners.
