It was announced on May 29th that new announcers Narumi Tada, Ema Burns, and Gen Fujioka, who joined TBS in 2026, will be joining the morning news programs "THE TIME' (The Time Dash)" (Monday-Friday, 4:30 AM) and "THE TIME," (Monday-Friday, 5:20 AM) starting in June. Tada will be in charge of Mondays, Fujioka on Wednesdays, and Burns on Thursdays.
Tada commented, "For me, morning news programs are an important part of my life, giving me a positive feeling that makes me think, 'Let's do our best today.' From June, as a member of 'THE TIME' and 'THE TIME,' I will do my utmost to deliver a wonderful morning to everyone. Thank you for your support."
Announcer Burns said, "When I found out I would be participating, I was so surprised and thrilled! I'm a little nervous about my first live broadcast, but I'll turn this nervousness into energy and do my best to warm everyone's hearts at this special time as the sun rises. I'll also be performing the Shimaenaga exercise with sharp, energetic movements, so please look forward to it!"
Fujioka said, "I've been a TV nerd since I was a child, glued to the screen all the time. I've been saved countless times by the fun of television. I believe that television has the power to make you smile naturally if the screen is bright. I will do my best to deliver information so that everyone can have a bright morning!"
