Interesting article from JETRO (Japan External Trade Organization) about the structure and trends of the anime industry, including an intersting statistic that in 2002, there were around 2700 time slots devoted to anime. I'm not sure whether the time slots are daily, weekly, perhaps weekly but with 2 seasons, or yearly?. If it's weekly, that'd mean 385 slots per day, if it's reduced by having 2 seasons, that's still 192 slots per day! If you can make any more sense of this statistic, please make a comment.
Some of the text describes 60 anime episodes per week in 2001 and 80 episodes per week in 2002. These jive with the ~100 new episodes per week number that I'd heard around 2002. However, there are so many reruns of often very old shows, that the actual number of total TV slots devoted to anime must be far greater than simply the number of new episodes per week.
Yeah, it's not really "news" since it's a few years old, but now that I have a blog, I can finally record these things.
