PURPOSE: To shorten the waiting time of a viewer and to prevent a device from being made large-scale.

CONSTITUTION: Plural reproducing devices 10 to 21 which reproduce programs at intervals of a certain time, at least one variable speed reproducing device 31 which reproduces a program at a variable speed, a controller 32 which controls this device 31, and a switcher 35 which switches channels are provided. When a program reproducing request from a viewer terminal 34 is received, the variable speed reproducing device 31 is controlled to reproduce the program at the variable speed for a prescribed time after the program reproducing request, and the switcher 35 switches reproducing channels at intervals of the certain time after the prescribed time, thereby arbitrarily presenting information to each viewer.
