Although this site is generally known for light news and entertainment, they have dedicated themselves now to English language broadcasts of latest breaking news.

They broadcast the usual press conferences and translate them into English. They then generally take questions and discuss.

Not strictly speaking a news channel, usually, but one of the best live news sources around right now.

For instance, they just aired the 5:00 P.M. news conference regarding the pressure at Reactor 3 at Fukushima, with the update that the decision was made NOT to release pressure at this time. After this, discussion and questions and further translation.

What do you think of this broadcast?

1. I've been listening...

...it's good for: the whatever is going on, up to the minute, live stuff he is translating into english.

Not sure, what is the original source he is translating? Yokoso News?

3. Seems like he is improvising

To be honest, seems like he is taking e-mails from all over, following press conferences and the like, but he is on it as best anyone can. Providing a valuable service, I can tell you that.

Worthwhile coverage, though little on the primitive or inexperienced side. But he is on it, better than anyone or anywhere else I have found. Don't you think?
