It has been announced that TV Tokyo announcer Minami Nakahara will be the main anchor of the morning economic news program "News Morning Satellite (Mosate)" (Monday to Friday, 5:45 a.m.) from April. It was also announced that anchor Akane Katabuchi will be transferred to the New York branch in the United States.
Nakahara, who joined the company in 2022, was selected as the fifth MC, partnering Yoshihiko Inohara, on the popular information variety show "Appearance! Ad Street Heaven (Ad Street)" (Saturdays 9 p.m.) in April last year, attracting attention.
"I have been working at Mosate since the fall of my first year at the company, and over the past two and a half years I have witnessed the turbulent world economy. While I have felt firsthand the growing interest in asset formation, I can also hear the market's movements at my feet, shaken by every single word from President Trump, which makes it all the more important to communicate market information. I have been appointed as the main caster at Mosate, which plays a part in this. Although I am inexperienced and inexperienced, I value my attitude of continuing to learn, and I will communicate with you in a way that will help you start your day in a positive mood, ready to do your best today. I look forward to your continued support!"
Caster Akane Katabuchi expressed her enthusiasm, saying, "I have been the anchor for Mosate for the past five years and will be transferring to the New York bureau this spring. I am excited to be leaving our studio in Tokyo and being able to report while actually experiencing the American atmosphere. In New York, the heart of the market, I would like to cover the stories behind the numbers and hear the real voices of the people, and convey the passion of the scene as it is. I look forward to your continued support."
The program's producer, Masaki Abe, commented, "Mosa-te is well-received for its rapid delivery of overseas economic news and the commentary of its experts and the skillful talk of its casters. As the morning face of TV Tokyo, Mosa-te will be joined by a fresh caster lineup of Nakahara Minami and Katabuchi Akane from April, and will provide an objective, in-depth and thorough account of the increasingly complex trends in the global economy and markets. Please look forward to an even more powerful Mosa-te this spring."
