◇Comment from Takahiro Nougawa
I have been appointed as the MC for "Oha! 4" every Wednesday and as the newscaster for "news every." on weekdays from Monday to Friday. I am feeling nervous about the heavy responsibility of being on such a big stage that it is beyond my capacity.
I have been with Fukushima Chuo Television for just under 10 years. Therefore, I think I have some understanding of the importance of delivering local news and local voices that are more rooted in the community. With my experience in field reporting to date, I will next carefully report the news that I receive from all over the country.
I will stand in front of the camera, feeling grateful to be able to be the MC of a morning program that I have always dreamed of, and to be able to continue to be involved in an evening program, which is the main battlefield of local stations, and without forgetting the tension I feel now. I am clumsy and have many shortcomings, but I will convey my message honestly and with all my heart. I look forward to your continued support.
