NHK boss Fukuchi just announced the broadcast is back on for September at the NHK studios in Shibuya. "We are seeing the Kyokai doing its utmost to sever all ties with the underworld and generally taking the reform path. Our viewers will surely understand," he explained.

I can't wait! It'll be my first time watching the whole thing live. :) I'm interested to see how it's different from watching the digest version.

poor petarao. dissapointed I bet. but it's good to have it shown on NHK. it will be my last time seeing it since I will be leaving Japan for good in October. I won't pay the nhk tax here before I leave and regret ever paying it. where I am moving to the fee for haaving nhk is 35.00 monthly so I will mnever see it again. so long gang. have a good life everybody even those nhk employees who fought so hard against he mom and pop viewers of sumo.

I will voice my opinion by resubscribing to TVJapan the day before the basho and bailing out again the day after the basho.

Small addendum: "If some new problems arise during the basho we will immediately suspend the broadcast," said Fukuichi.
