Format
Biz Stream is an "upbeat business programme" dealing with the top business stories and "the latest innovations" from Japan and elsewhere.[5] Every episode includes analysis by an expert guest and starts with a review of the main business headlines of the week.
The main segments are:
- In Depth deals with a business story out of the headlines reviewed at the start of the show.
- On-Site Report features a story of an issue affecting the Japanese or Asia-Pacific business community or their economy, and the way companies deal with it.
- World Perspective is a report from outside Japan, mostly from the Asia Pacific and Southeast Asia regions.
- Global Trends is a feature about sustainable, innovative products and entrepreneurship.
Occasionally, there are special episodes dealing only with one issue, such as a review of the Heisei era from the business side[6] or an investigation on plastic waste exported to Southeast Asia.[7]
The programme is also available on online service NHK Huayu Shijie, broadcast as Shāngyè Xìnxī Liú BIZ STREAM (simplified Chinese: 商业信息流 BIZ STREAM; traditional Chinese: 商業信息流 BIZ STREAM) with Simplified Chinese subtitles.[8]
