South Korea\'s Broadcast Media and Telecommunications Commission said it held a hearing with JTBC representatives after the broadcaster applied for corporate rehabilitation. The commission said it checked whether universal viewing rights for events of public interest would be ensured and confirmed JTBC had been notified it can normally broadcast all matches of the North and Central America World Cup. It also urged JTBC to prioritise protection for outsourced production workers and said it will review reapproval screening details internally.

South Korea\'s Broadcast Media Communications Commission said on Thursday it received a plan to boost shared growth and vitality in the home shopping sector. It aims to ease regulatory burdens on the industry and improve the effectiveness of support for small and medium-sized enterprises. The commission discussed the plan at its 12th plenary meeting for 2026 and set out six tasks, including changes to product scheduling rules, a review of a dedicated data home shopping channel, stronger policy adjustment in carriage-fee negotiations, simplified reapproval checks and revisions to screen-ratio rules for data home shopping.
