Kyuranger/Kamen Rider changing airing times in October

This is big news for Toku fans, as Sentai and Rider haven't changed airing times for a while:

Starting in October, Noriyuki Higashiyama (50 years old) of the idol group, Shonentai, will star in a brand-new Sunday news program, currently titled "Sunday Live." It will be the first time Higashiyama will act as a newscaster.

The show will start its airing at 5:50 AM Sunday Mornings, and run for 2 hours and 40 minutes as a live broadcast. The show is being advertised as a large scale project, with its theme being "easy to grasp" topics, as it airs early on Sundays.

Tv-Asahi seems to want to rally against shows like Nihon Terebi's "Juuichi" and TBS' "Sunday Morning", which air at 7 AM and 8 AM respectively. (The time of Tv-Asahi youth programming block.)

Higashiyama, having only acted in dramas before, is delighted to take up this challenge of a weekly live broadcast, and Tv-Asahi is aiming to make him the "face of Sunday mornings."

This new program means the kids block will be moved forward in air time.

The new Kamen Rider Series (Build, unnamed in the article) will air at 9:00.

Uchuu Sentai Kyuranger will follow Kamen Rider's lead in, at 9:30.

Daimei no nai Ongakukai (a music program) will move to 10:00 AM Saturday mornings. Both Heybot! and Tsumai no Diet will have ended their runs by then.


Big news indeed, as this puts Sentai and Rider up against One Piece and Dragon Ball, though I guess for Toei....if you have to compete against somebody, might as well be you.
