It has been announced that the "Future from Here Project," a project that TV Asahi has been working on continuously since October 2020, will be carried out again this fall with the participation of all news and information programs. The eight days from September 22nd to 29th will be designated as "Future from Here Week," and will feature specials on the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals).
This time, it will start on "Sunday LIVE!!" (Sunday 5:50 a.m., excluding some regions) broadcast on the 22nd. The program will broadcast a report on an attempt by Shuzo Matsuoka to "rebrand aged sake stored in sake breweries." "Sunday Station" (Sunday 9 p.m.), also broadcast on the 22nd, will feature technology that allows people with and without disabilities to enjoy going out, in line with Silver Week. The following week, "Saturday Station" (Saturday 8:54 p.m.), broadcast on the 28th, will be a project that delves into the ideal and reality of work style reform, and will interview companies that are working on "decent work," which aims to create rewarding and humane employment.
On weekdays, daily news and information programs develop their own original projects. "Good! Morning" (Monday to Friday, 4:55 a.m., excluding some areas) features a quiz corner called "Hayashi Osamu's Word Test Smart," in which SDG quizzes are asked every day. "Hatori Shinichi Morning Show" (Monday to Friday, 8 a.m.) focuses on Japan's first solar power generation project, delving into the essence of "development of a renewable energy circulation system."
"Oshita Yoko Wide! Scramble" (Monday to Friday, 10:25 a.m., excluding some areas) broadcasts a variety of topics every day, including "The development of a manned rocket that connects Japan and New York in one hour" and "A handmade science museum that children flock to." In the evening, "Super J Channel" (Monday to Friday, 4:48 p.m., excluding some areas) uses footage from all over the world to explore what is happening now with "rising sea levels" and what could happen in the future.
On weekday evenings, the show "Hodo Station" (Monday through Friday, 9:54 p.m.) will conduct large-scale research in the United States on the theme of "Cities disappearing due to climate change." The show will cover the current situation in southeast New Orleans, where land is disappearing minute by minute due to rising sea levels and hurricanes, where residents are being forced to relocate en masse, as well as a large-scale project to restore the land.
On September 22nd, from 1:55 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., a special program, "Emergency Report! Renewable Energy Revolution: The Miracle Story of Windmills" (excluding some regions), will be broadcast. Announcer Yamaguchi Yutaka, who is also the author of a book on renewable energy, will thoroughly research and investigate offshore wind power development sites in Japan. The story of the difficult development will also be recreated in a mini-drama.
