RKB Mainichi Broadcasting Corporation (Headquarters: Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture) announces that it will air a 'Final Special' on Sunday, June 21, 2026, marking the end of its TV program, 'Entate-Ku: The E-World TV Doesn't Know,' which has served as a bridge between technology and entertainment since its debut in February 2019.
About the Program
'Entate-Ku' launched in February 2019 to quickly capture the rapidly changing modern society by combining technology, entertainment, and new culture. We have reported on cutting-edge technologies and cultural trends, learning alongside the audience to showcase the 'shape of a changing society.' Supported by many over the past seven years, we have decided to conclude the program as it has fulfilled its purpose and marks a major milestone for our next steps.
History and Gratitude
Since the beginning, we have featured guests involved in various cutting-edge technologies to introduce how these innovations are integrating into society. We welcomed numerous VTubers who established new forms of communication, feeling firsthand the arrival of a new era where the lines between virtual and real are blurring. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we intensified our reporting within the metaverse, discovering new ways to communicate and broadcast information. Additionally, witnessing the explosive evolution of AI technologies transforming the world's common sense through the program has been a precious asset for us.
The insights cultivated through this show are being applied to new initiatives within the broadcasting station, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who supported the program. We extend our sincerest gratitude to all the guests, collaborators, and especially the viewers who supported the show for seven years.
