We have received the following information regarding the broadcast time and channel changes from TOKYO MX.
 

[From TOKYO MX] 
At TOKYO MX, we have been receiving the support of FC Tokyo fans and supporters for a long time. We will be implementing the following four measures from April to allow even more viewers to watch "F.C.TOKYO Spirit!"
 
(1) Change in broadcasting time
The Friday 22:00 time slot was overlapping with the broadcast of a soccer support program in the Kanto region. By changing the time to 23:00-23:30, we believe that we can appeal to more viewers who love soccer and FC Tokyo.
In addition, considering the high viewership during the time slot when popular programs of various Tokyo-based TV stations are aired, as well as the percentage of viewers watching from home, we have determined that it would be advisable to move the time slot from the 22:00 hour to 23:00 hour in order to attract general viewers who are not football fans.
 

(2) Channel change to TOKYO MX2 (092ch)
Since April last year, TOKYO MX2 has been broadcasting 24 hours a day with a wide variety of high-quality content, including movies, dramas, classic anime, and documentaries.
By adding "F.C.TOKYO Soul!" to TOKYO MX2, we believe that it will become a channel for disseminating cultural content, including sports representing the capital Tokyo, and will result in a more profound program lineup.
 

(3) Broadcasting FC Tokyo information on the morning information program "Morning CROSS"
The information program "Morning CROSS" is broadcasted every Monday to Friday from 7:00 on TOKYO MX1 (channel 091). We will broadcast FC Tokyo information every Monday and Friday on the sports corner "Crosspo" within the program.
On Mondays, we will focus on the results of the previous week's matches, and on Fridays, we will bring you the highlights of the upcoming matches, event announcements at Ajinomoto Stadium, player comments, and other timely information. And in the evening of the match day, we will also promote the program "F.C.TOKYO Spirit!"
(※Broadcast time is scheduled to be around 8:09 in the morning)
 

(4) Official YouTube channel & MX's HP and sports portal update web videos every week
By delivering the program not only on TV but also as web videos, it will be possible to watch it not only in the Tokyo metropolitan area but also nationwide and overseas.
We will provide various plans to enjoy FC Tokyo's unique way of watching, including watching guide, gourmet and event information at Ajinomoto Stadium, and information from the team.
