Maybe it would helkp them to split the show up. Instead of 1 giant marathon run stage 1 the first week of october (or whatever month). Then run the finish the next week. I think the fact that you have to sit and watch for however many hours straight is a bad idea at this point wit the interest having waned...although this would have failed miserably in 19.

That would be horrible. They already have enough trouble getting people to watch this broadcast. They can't even advertise for the current show, and you want them to advertise for multiple episodes?

I have to agree with Bada. The show isn't getting that many views and splitting up the show might mean people forgetting about it and missing episodes. One big event would probably draw more people. Easier to advertise and easier for the viewers.

It's bad enough 24 was the ONLY re-air in Japan and even then, it was a cut up broadcast just to hype up 25 (which did terrible in the ratings, only getting a 7). At least Ninja Warrior airs repeats (even if they've given them death slots but that's a different story, see to my sig for that). Missing an episode = you are S.O.L (sh*t out of luck)

They also reaired 23 in a similar cut up style, But yeah, 23 and 24 were the only reruns and those were cut up like hell

Many of the things mentioned here are not because of SASUKE or M9 but because of how network TV works:
1) There is no prime time/Golden time rerun season in Japan. Almost every program every night is new, all year round.
2) Reruns generally happen during the afternoon, which don't impact ratings all that much. SASUKE's target audience wouldn't be watching at that time anyway.
3) Special season is special season. Between drama seasons, networks pile up on multi-hour specials, many of which are there to hype the upcoming shows. Foreign audiences may not be conditioned to it but Japanese audiences are. One of the consistently highest rated shows of the year, the Kohaku Uta Gassen is usually five or so hours long. It's ratings have dropped in recent years but it still gets at the very least a 30 plus percent. It doesn't mean that they stay on one channel throughout though.
4) Viewers in Japan can watch the NWfied version of SASUKEs 1 - 23 on TBS On Demand.

That's great, so the Japanese can view how G4 completely ruins SASUKE. I did notice that SASUKE fared much better when it was still a Kinniku Banzuke special (see SASUKE 7 and 8: ~26% ratings!).

Well 7 and 8 was a year before Banzuke ended actually. Kane was their biggest contestant, so he was a large (more like THE guy) help for the ratings.
