OK. That is one hell of a block. Sounds promising.

Of course, there still all the controversies Fuji TV go itself involved in.

Well, dang it, they have finally gone in the right direction by figuring out the best option for at least popular anime getting more exposition - and actually went to expand early late-night/pre-midnight TV slots outside the usual Friday and weekends - which was the thing that industry needed for years.

So this new channel block thing is good news?

January is packed to the brim. It’ll make up for a weaker Fall season.

If anything - yes.

The real problem for the anime dedicated slots comes with how not enough representation on the TV channels there in existence outside very late night (think 1-3AM at night) - to the point that most of timeslots dedicated to anime are always booked by the long-time running shows for the kids/family audience with barely any shuffles between, while the significantly popular anime series that literally have no problems showing on evening/early night slots in terms of content are still going to the late night slots instead - just because there are literally no other options, which obviously means less audience coverage, while opening more timeslots dedicated to just anime can alleviate some troubling.

Probably the reason why Kansai TV is listed first among the main broadcasters?

Probably that. Though Fuji TV should bounce back soon enough, if it's not already.

Pretty doubtful - production committee contracts with streaming services are a separate matter from the showing the episode on TV, and having them transferred to other slot (something like for example what happened with "new" NTV Friday early-night premium slot, which had the sequel shows like The Apothecary Diaries S2 or Tensura S3) changes nothing in between.
