Television station Nagoya TV (Metele) will end its Sunday morning anime programming block in September.
The network has been airing Heybot! and Kirakira ☆ Precure a la Mode, along with the live-action shows Uchū Sentai Kyūranger and Kamen Rider Ex-Aid.
Asahi Shimbun cited lower birth rates as a reason for the decreased ratings that led to the block’s cancellation.
The block has been running for 40 years, though until 1998 it aired on Saturday evenings.
