SKY PerfecTV Samurai! Will broadcast for four hours straight. 

Noah's "EXCEEDING OUR DREAM" show, which will be held at Differ Ariake, Tokyo, on Saturday September 16th, will be broadcast as a PPV broadcast on Sky Perfect TV's "Samurai!." In addition, after the match, a pro wrestling news program "S-ARENA" will be broadcast from the ring. The wrestlers who have just finished their matches will appear. PPV purchasers will be able to watch this program as well.

The PPV fee is 1500 yen (free for Samurai subscribers). The live broadcast will be from 18:00 to 21:00 on September 16th, and from 21:00 to 22:00 on [S-ARENA]. Rebroadcasts will be from 23:00 to 26:00*, on the 16th and from 15:00 to 18:00 on September 17th. S-ARENA will be from 26:00 to 27:00 on the 16th and from 18:00 to 19:00 on the 17th. 

For enquiries, please contact SAMURAI.

Notes

23:00 - 26:00: This is the "Thirty Hour System". Unlike the 24-hour system , which ends at 24:00, the 30-hour system extends the time by six hours after 24:00 (25:00 until 30:00). The day boundary (the point at which the date changes) is 6:00 AM instead of 0:00 AM. However, when NHK did a poll in 2003, only 1% of people said they preferred the thirty hour system.   

Samurai! This weeks recommended programs - Noah 3rd edition: Village Festival Pro Wrestling Special

A new show on Samurai! TV, "Noah's Ark", led by Mitsuharu Misawa, has started. It was started by Noah taking over "King's Road", which was very popular among All Japan fans before the group split up. It is a rare show where the wrestlers who have chosen to take on the rugged path of sailing into rough seas show their true selves in surprising ways. 

On September 2nd, it was suddenly decided that Noah would be broadcast as a two-hour special, following the two consecutive shows since the inauguration. The third show, held on August 15th in Minase Village, Akita, was a village festival wrestling event at a campsite. Nevertheless, the fierce fights that are unique to Noah were unfolding. There were plenty of highlights, including Kobashi starting a new tag with Rikio, who attacked Akiyama, and NO FEAR'S Asako and Takayama in the main event, replacing Omori who was absent due to injury. Of course, Jun Akiyama (pictured) who defeated the "Three Heavenly Kings" of Misawa, Taue and Kobashi in just two days, maintained his tough stance and took the helm of Noah.
