Nippon Television Unveils the NNN News App for Engaging TV Experience

NNN News App: Engaging Viewership in Modern News

On April 6, Nippon Television Network Corporation, headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, introduced its new smartphone application, the "NNN News", effectively transforming how viewers interact with news. With 24/7 news coverage at their fingertips, users can now engage with ongoing news programs like "news every." and "Oha!4 NEWS LIVE" to an unprecedented extent.

Interactive News Experience

The app facilitates direct participation in news broadcasts through features like surveys and audience submissions. This means that user opinions and content can directly influence the programs they love. Additionally, the launch of "Hey, Sorajiro" allows users to ask questions to Sorajiro, Nippon Television’s cherished weather mascot, fostering a quirky and engaging atmosphere for viewers. Questions submitted via the app have the potential to be answered live in the broadcast, creating a more personal connection between the audience and the show.

Note: The initiation date for the "Hey, Sorajiro" segment will be announced later, and potential plans are subject to change following the app's release. Updates on additional features will be shared progressively.

Local News at Your Fingertips

The app's regional settings enable users to quickly access localized news from the expansive NNN network of 30 companies across Japan. By simply setting their current or hometown location, users can view the latest news from their chosen area directly on the app’s home screen.

Stay Informed with Push Notifications

In today’s fast-paced world, being aware of breaking news is crucial; therefore, NNN News ensures updates are constant. With alerts delivered through push notifications, users receive updates twice daily regarding major news and incidents, including weather and disaster alerts. The application presents a well-rounded selection of news, covering fields from politics and society to international relations, economy, sports, and culture, keeping users informed every day.

Easy Access to Weather and Disaster Information

Access to critical weather and disaster information has become more straightforward. Users can navigate to the bottom menu of the app to check the NTV Weather and Disaster Site, which visually displays national weather advisories and alerts on an easy-to-read map. Information regarding earthquakes, typhoons, transportation updates, and power outages can also be accessed from a single platform, making preparedness easier.
