TV Asahi's morning information program "Good! Morning" is expected to record an average audience rating of 4.9% for individuals and 8.7% for households in the 7:00 AM weekday morning slot in 2025 (according to Video Research, Kanto region), making it the top-rated program in that time slot for the first time since the program began airing in October 2013. TV Asahi announced the figures on January 5th.
The program is based on the concept of "This morning, you'll find out what you want to know and want to know more about," and is broadcast Monday through Friday from 4:55 AM to 8:00 AM, Saturday from 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM, and Sunday from 5:50 AM to 8:30 AM, excluding some areas. The Saturday broadcast, which began in March 2024, is expected to achieve an average annual viewer rating of 2.5% for individuals and 5% for households in the 6:00 AM time slot in 2025, the highest of all stations. It also topped the commercial broadcasting charts with 4.3% for individuals and 8% for households in the 7:00 AM time slot.
TV Asahi Chief Producer Fumihiro Takasaki commented, "When you wake up in the morning, or after finishing work late at night, you can tune in to 'Good! Morning' and find out what's been happening in Japan and around the world. That's the kind of simple program we've been aiming for. We're very happy that our program has been able to be a part of the start of so many people's days. We will continue to aim to be a program that can be close to our viewers."
Announcer Naoki Tsuboi, who serves as the MC (host) from Monday to Friday, said, "Since the days of our predecessor, Yajiuma, we have aimed to create a program that would not just provide one-way news and information, but would also encourage everyone to think and discuss together. At the same time, as announcers, we have always tried to create a cheerful program that would encourage our viewers as they work hard throughout the day, but now it is we who are being encouraged by them. We hope you will continue to accompany us in the morning."
Saito Chiharu, the announcer who also broadcasts Monday through Friday, said, "I'm very happy that you've chosen 'Good! Morning' for your morning break. Not all mornings are filled with energy, but even on those days, I hope that 'Good! Morning' can be a catalyst for you to look forward even just a little. All of the staff and performers will do their best to provide you with the information you want to know, so I hope that we can continue to be a part of your morning routine."
