I’m very pleased to see NHK TV’s Shiga news Web site providing video clips of their 6:10 pm evening TV news program. Before, they only provided a short text summary of news headlines. Now we can see the main TV news stories in several video clips online every day (except weekends).

If you can understand Japanese and live outside Shiga, this is a great way to see and hear Shiga news. Here’s the Web page:

Note that the page is updated daily, so if you missed yesterday’s news, it’s already too late.

I hope the Biwako Broadcasting Co. (another local TV station in Shiga) will follow suit and also provide video clips.
