Hey all.
Ran into the テレビ東京 guys yesterday as my wife and I were on the way home. They came over filmed for about 2 hours and then were on their way.
If you’ve been on it, could you tell me how long it took to get a call about whether they’ll use the footage or not?

Did you sign a broadcast waiver?
No waiver—Very little chance of broadcast.
As for the timeframe of broadcast—Nobody knows.
Broadcast could be in 3 weeks or more typically 3 months.
Since you were filmed in summer, you can expect the program needs to be shown before winter (or your clothing etc. will look weird).
TV Tokyo (like almost all TV broadcasters) do NOT give any notice, feedback, or video copies to their non-employee “talents.” Calling TV Tokyo will not result in any solid information, and if you have the business card of your segment’s producer/director will not yield much help (directors hate such calls). Try the program’s email address tv-tokyo.co.jp/official/home_ii/
I was on Asahi TV the other day! My interview was filmed back in July. It was about 3 weeks before my segment was on TV. I had signed a waiver.
I was on TV Asahi two years ago for a quick interview and it was about a month after waiver signed. They didn’t tell me anything. My co-worker excitedly messaged me saying he saw me on tv. I had to look it up on YouTube haha
