Japan’s public broadcaster faced accusations it may have violated the Broadcast Law by earmarking around 900 million yen ($6.4 million) in its fiscal 2023 budget for online streaming of its satellite TV programs despite being prohibited from such activity.
Japan Broadcasting Corp. (NHK) will continue its recent practice of selecting a president from outside the broadcaster with the appointment of Nobuo Inaba, a former executive director of the Bank of Japan, according to multiple sources.
