You can still catch her on News 7 at Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. News 7 is national broadcast, not just greater Tokyo metro area like Shutoken Network News, more exposure for her! And you like her because...

I think NHK is actually really good programming-wise. It's the commercial networks that are >90% crap.

NHK is so good I refuse to pay their licensing fees. A bit like a 5 foot kid at grammar school being seen as tall. Still a kid. Still awful TV. Unless reporting news counts
