According to reports from sports newspapers, at the regular press conference held on March 31, TV TOKYO President Masayuki Shimada broadcast a regular program after 23:55 on the 12th, the day after the earthquake. It seems that it was revealed that about 700 opinions were received from the viewers.

TV TOKYO broadcasted the regular anime program 'Tegami Bachi' from 23:55 on March 12, but about 600 of the opinions received were affirmed by protests such as 'It is inappropriate to broadcast the anime program'. It is said that there are about 90 opinions.

Regarding the reason for broadcasting the regular program, it is mentioned that it was judged that 'normal entertainment is also necessary to get healthy while considering the feelings of the disaster area', President Shimada said from the viewers. He states that he 'wants to make use of the opinions received as valuable opinions.'
