What is Radio Japan filling their hour with this week? 44 minutes
is missing from their website, replaced with something that runs
much less than before, leaving me wondering what they're filling the
time with.

Last couple a times I listened to them it was a male and female chatting
away about whatever seemed to interest them at the moment and they had
some interviews about things like how to clean a traditional Japanese
house. Noting really that interesting but fun to listen too. The only
heavy stuff being the news.



Gee, and I thought CBC had budget problems. That 17 year long
depression that is still taking place in Japan must really be hitting
NHK hard. Say what you will about Radio Havana, Voice of Korea, and
the late great stations of the vanished Soviet Bloc, but at least
commies really know how to fill time. Do what Radio Peking did and
repeat "Down with the imperialist capitalist lackeys and their filthy
running dogs!" on an endless loop tape for several hours, then call it
a day. If that fails, spout Marxist slogans and interview the
secretary of the San Francisco Young Communists' League for a while.
Between those and a couple others, you'll have your 4 hour block down
pat.

I think radio Japan is going to stop their broadcasts to NA in english
next year.
