It's green in colour - so if you tell everyone it's blue, you should get about £399 for it

Ha, yes indeed. I used to watch NHK via pure Internet site/IPTV and then on Roku/fire stick/NowTV but noticed last year it had appeared as one of the multi-channels on connected-Freeview on the Channelbox channel on CH 271.That's the one. And yes, it has a variety of interesting shows: some of the kids show too. I'm far from a child, but sometimes simple explanations are what work for me
I think NHK global is their public broadcaster version of the BBC World Service TV.

NHK WORLD-JAPAN launches on Freeview channel 271 via the Channelbox platform.
NHK WORLD-JAPAN, the international English-language channel from Japan’s public broadcaster NHK, delivers to the world the latest information about Japan and Asia. This channel reaches over 380 million households in 160 countries and regions via local satellite and cable TV providers.
NHK WORLD-JAPAN is available in the UK on Sky and Freesat and now became available also on Freeview, channel 271 bolstering the Channelbox news category which includes Bloomberg, Euronews, France24, TVP World and many other international news channels.
“NHK is a window to Japan and Asia and this TV channel is a perfect addition to the Channelbox and Freeview lineup of news channels”, said Tanya Kronfli, Head of Channelbox content and business development.
Channelbox is a multi-channel platform available on connected Freeview, channel 271, and Channelbox mobile applications.
Channelbox is free-to-air and has over 60 TV channels including Euronews, Fashion TV, NTD, France24, Fuel and many others.

How do they make any money, with him talking all the time?

See Ellis is on this morning. I suppose she’s better than Pig Trough and his incessant Jade. Did imagine it but had they added (irradiation/heating) to the description on screen. It’s not on the main description but really tiny on the secondary screens. Is this a cunning ploy to comply with ASA warnings?

Well when he's charging Jadeite prices for Serpentine and Quartzite by misleading, that's were the profit is.

Oh great, Jade! I think the channel should be re-named...Jadeporia - with Jade TV, Jade Collector, Primal Jade, Jade Jewellery Maker, etc.. All together now......We want more jade, we want......
Nurse! Where are my tablets?
I wonder, does Steve Bennett ever tune into Gemporia now, the company that made him rich, and wonder 'where did it all go wrong?' 'Why did I hand over the reins of my successful company to that Plonker, Jake the Fake'?
She will fit in very well then, there's a lot of that about!
Anything for a few quid I suppose!
Drew used to cover the 3a.m - 7a.m slot. and Ruth, the 11p.m- 3a.m. - both are excellent presenters, imo, a big loss to the company.
The leaves are nice. Where's the dog, Andy? I like him!
I think I've realised why Troth always looks so 'pained'- Haemhorroids!

Jadehorroids, if you don't mind! The medical profession re-named them, in honour of Jade himself (who definitely looks as though he has an advanced case of them, in need of urgent treatment).
I used to watch her til midnight. And, VERY rarely, I had a very quick peek at the 3-7 slot at around 5.30am, if I had to get up at 5 for work. But only for a few seconds

Ruth had already reduced her hours voluntarily before all the redundancies, so we were going to see less of her anyway - but I always liked Drew.
Like Nick, they were under-used on the channels - instead, being put on the 'smaller' channels such as The Lounge, Gem Collector or the 'crack-of-down' hours that got less viewers.
They obviously didn't mislead and scream like banshees enough or have convincing enough 'false shock' faces
Well I haven't seen Josie since she was doing what I think was her trial stint. Do we think she was a hit and has gone off to do her accreditation or was she a miss and we won't be seeing her again? It could be that I'm just not watching at the right time or she's off on JM or GC.

They introduced her as a new presenter and said 'welcome to the team' - so shes definitely 'on the books' now. I suspect that now that Rachel Hatton is back to plug the gap in the mornings, there's no urgency to put her on, so she's just doing her training and acting as a 'sub' presenter until there's a regular slot for her.
Maybe Gemporia know something we don't. Perhaps there's a presenter about to leave that we don't know about yet?
Maybe Lindsey Carr is going to be moved over to JM full time to solve their problem of always being short of presenters?
Either way, I'm in no rush to see her again. Just from the two brief stints that she's done, I can tell that she's going to be as bad and annoying as the current shrieking, shouty bunch.
Do you mean this one (image 1) or this one (image 2)?
