I want to watch Japanese TV programs for free or at a discount

I used to look forward to watching Fuji Television's Japanese-language newscasts in the morning, but the broadcast has come to an end. As I get older, Japanese TV is pleasant to my ears, regardless of the quality of the content. If anyone knows of a way to watch Japanese language news in the U.S., please let me know!

If you just want to watch Japanese TV programs on your PC or smartphone, you can buy a VPN with an annual subscription and access TVer, a website where you can watch Japanese TV programs for free.

I don't know what a VPN is, but does it mean I have to sign up for a cable-like service ？ Tver I thought I could only use it when I went back to Japan, so I'm glad I can watch Tver ！.

The University of Tsukuba has a VPN that you can use for free. It is a little tricky to connect, but I always use it to watch TVer.

I use SoftEther VPN Client.

Thank you Moja2😊

Is this something I have to do every time ？ I don't understand it at a glance and I think I will fail before I start💦

I'm grateful that it is free to use and I will try my best but what you wrote seems a bit difficult😅😅 I'll try my best, but what it says seems a bit difficult 😅.

In my case, I only connect to a VPN when I want to watch TVer or Japanese Amapura, and disconnect it when I'm done.
The trick is to choose a VPN from the list that has a speed of 100Mbps or more, and to choose a VPN that does not have "public" at the beginning. Also, sometimes the connection is lost in the middle, so you have to reconnect to another VPN. Well, anyway, it's free, so I'm willing to overlook a few inconveniences.
