NHK Newsline Schedule
As the title says, I'm a little confused because last week and again this week, I noticed that NHK Newsline was only 10 minutes long instead of the usual 30 minutes. I know that it used to be a 15-minute program, with occasional 10-minute editions, but didn't they switch to a 30-minute format more than a year ago?
Have they switched back to the shorter format again? If not, is there a publicly available schedule showing when they're going to air the 10–15-minute editions and when they'll return to the regular 30-minute format, or is it something we'll only know once the program actually airs?
This might sound a little crazy, but I actually use the show as my break, especially the 12 noon broadcast. I don't know why, but the airtime and duration are just perfect for me to rest my shoulders and hands after typing for a while. I was also advised to take short breaks like this a few times during working hours, so I've kind of gotten used to using NHK Newsline as my little break time.
