Q: Which dates did Ogui Senshuken go on-air?

A: “Ogui Senshuken” was a segment within a tv program titled TV Champion. Other segments were competition in various genre titled such as “Reform Champion”(home renovation) and “Japanese Sweets Champion”.

Separate from TV Champion, there was a program titled “Nichiyou Big Special – Ogui Senshuken” (Sunday Big Special – Ogui Championship), but I am unaware of the on-air dates for this program.
