I admit I do not know enough about the inner workings of Japanese public broadcasting contracts to say just how much the ratings affect a show. Some of the revenue has to come from commercial contracts with sponsors, but how much and whether strong merchandise sales can override low ratings is something else.

Don't get me wrong, I am certainly not complaining about the way they do things or even really mind the delay, I just hope it is a one-time delay rather than being a sign of further difficulties.
