I have sumo live on Niji now.

Which channel do you use? Both "NHK" options are showing something different for me (CCTV and stuff), and have been doing so for days.

I use the NHK G channel choice. (2nd from top). I am getting all of the Japanese channels.

Must be location dependent then...

Is Niji working for the rest? I cant seem to make it work, but maybe it's because I changed OS (I was using Wine on elementary os, and now running Wine on Lubuntu)... or maybe it's Niji 's fault....

I am continuing to get the full set of Japanese channels on Niji in the U.S.

UBS will pick up the NHK sumo feed at 4:03 PM JST.

[kuroimori 1,634]

jpPlayer is really nice to have today with NHK G being blocked with the National Diet debate broadcast.

in this case, Ozumo switched from NHK BS 102 subchannel (not available at jpPlayer) to the NHK BS 101 channel at 15:20 JST

Former Homasho is the guest commentator today for the first time after he intaied last basho.

[Akinomaki 40,808]

NHK today didn't show the usual recap of the first half after they started broadcasting on NHK general. I was waiting all the time and got disappointed - they now expect all to have BS, it seems.

UBS showing sumo earlier than NHK-G looks like being an indicator for that.

Oh, but they did-AFTER showing Aminishiki's limp back to the shitakubeya.

So they started before 17:05 JST? - I switched NIJI on with a 2 minutes delay - or maybe the delay was shorter today.

NHK beats commercial TV stations to simulcast punch

NHK’s announcement earlier this month that it will start trial simultaneous broadcasts of its programming on the Internet signaled a new era in TV broadcasting.

Commercial broadcasters, which have yet to offer such services and are thus intimidated by the giant public broadcaster’s move, are also exploring ways to take advantage of the additional medium for their programs.

With the future of TV broadcasting in flux, The Japan Times took a closer look at the current state of affairs.
What are NHK’s plans?

In an “Internet service implementation plan” for fiscal 2015 released March 10, NHK said it will broadcast sports events on its website at the same time they appear on its conventional general and educational TV channels.

Up to five programs will air for up to five hours a day during the trial. They will be chosen from events to which NHK holds broadcast rights, after the organizers of the events grant permission.

NHK also said it will select information of major public importance requiring speedy delivery, including that related to disasters. This information will appear on NHK Online concurrently with the news flashes aired on its conventional TV channels.

That would be just great! (This wasn't posted 13 days ago, was it...?)

NHK finally acknowledges this Internet streaming thingy!

It remains to be seen

- what programs will be selected

- when they commence this service and

- will there be restrictions (Japanese IP addresses only)

[kuroimori 1,634]

I just hope it will not be up and running before the opening ceremony of the

Tokyo Olympics...

article suggests that sumo broadcasts will be made available online at no cost.

Up to five programs will air for up to five hours a day during the trial. They will be chosen from events to which NHK holds broadcast rights, after the organizers of the events grant permission.

Since the source is Japan Times I didn't trust a word of it.

page 13 of the NHK document is the original source: http://www.nhk.or.jp/pr/keiei/netriyou/pdf/netriyou27.pdf

It is under projects financed by the fees to NHK, as an extra point after national and international broadcasts.

There is a fair chance that the broadcasts will be watchable outside of Japan and it is not pay-per-view like NHK video on demand.

The whole NHK plan aims for testing the net broadcast to be ready to use it in full for the Tokyo Olympics.

The trial likely will start this year.

Covered might be 5 sports events a year, of all the sports there is in Japan, up to 4 hours a day. No hint whatsoever that sumo might be included.

As long as the sumo kyokai broadcasts sumo on their own on the net, it is unlikely that they give that necessary agreement.

Videos on the NHK site at the moments are J-league and swimming, we shouldn't expect more from this plan.
