KBS/EBS expresses regret over exercising its right to veto the Integrated Collection of Receipts Act

The Korea Broadcasting Corporation (KBS) and the Korea Education Broadcasting Corporation (KBS) EBS expressed regret over the acting president Choi Sang-mok, who exercised his right to request reconsideration in the TV subscription fee collection law.

KBS said in its statement that KBS's financial crisis intensified due to the separate collection of license fees implemented last year, as well as the public suffered inconvenience.

EBS also stressed that TV license fees are essential resources for the existence and stable operation of public broadcasting, and strongly hopes that the revision of the Broadcasting Act, which has been passed back to the National Assembly, will be processed as originally planned in the re-decision stage.
