Fuji TV has announced the cancellation of its annual marathon program '27-Hour TV' for the second consecutive year. Typically aired during summer, the program features segments within a variety of genres - news, drama, sports, and comedy. The reasons behind the cancellation have not been disclosed publicly yet, following the trend of the previous cancellation.

'27-Hour TV' is an institution in Japanese television and has been running annually since 1978. The cancellation is likely to spark disappointment among the audience given its status as a summer tradition. Furthermore, the reason for the cancellation might become a matter of public interest and speculation due to the mystery surrounding it.

Marathon viewing events akin to '27-hour TV' are also popular in the US, especially during holidays. A cancellation of such well-loved programs would also likely result in public disappointment in the US.
