South Korea to loosen broadcast and OTT ad rules, expand mid-roll ads from October

South Korea will loosen advertising rules for broadcasters, raising the daily ad cap per channel and easing limits on mid-roll, virtual and indirect advertising. The Broadcasting Media Communication Commission approved a revision to the Enforcement Decree of the Broadcasting Act that will take effect in October after remaining procedures. The agency estimates easing mid-roll ad rules could lift broadcast ad revenue by about 50 billion won. Prime-time limits will remain to curb ad concentration.
