I've been asked to do a phone interview at 5:45pm EST (7:45AM Tokyo time) for the BBC.
1) I haven't been told what we are talking about.
2) I don't know if it will be shown in the USA. Is there a BBC News channel?
So...yeah.
If I can get a copy of it and share it (without occuring their lawyers's wraith), I will.
I heard back that the topic will be based off of this wire story:

All we have is BBC America.

I know you can stream BBC news 24 but I doubt it will be on that channel. I'm pretty sure that people with British IP addresses can stream almost all of the BBC channels for free though.

If I had to guess, I would say it would be on BBC World, (http://www.bbcworld.com/) but it's only a guess.

Yeah, we have BBC World here. They show "select programming" though, so if your piece is dedicated towards Japan, I doubt they'll show it here.

Hey man, nice one!
I'm from the UK -the BBCs home- do you know when it might be shown over here at all?

Very nice, you're turning into quite the celebrity.

Probably won't air in the states, since it's discussing changes in the company's profitability in Japan alone.
Though someone would do well to contact Reuters and tell them the game name isn't "Nintendog."

All done. It was/is on BBC's Asia Business Report on TV.
