South Korea\'s Broadcast Media Communications Commission held its first full meeting since its launch and cleared 23 pending items. It approved reauthorisation for 150 broadcast stations, setting licence terms based on review scores, and decided that 17 stations including TBS will undergo hearings before a final decision. It also handled drafts tied to amended broadcasting laws, follow-up rules after the repeal of the handset distribution law, and subordinate rules for a transmission qualification certification system due to take effect in September.

South Korea\'s Broadcast Media and Communications Commission is nearing a plenary meeting after securing a quorum under a six-member lineup. The panel, effectively stalled under a two-member setup, can now pass agenda items with at least four members present and a majority vote. But analysts say the structure could heighten political pressure, particularly over follow-up measures to the so-called three broadcasting laws. Industry officials warn prolonged decision delays could increase market uncertainty.
