It is suspected that "Fuji Media Holdings", which owns Fuji TV, violated the foreign capital regulation of the Broadcasting Law from 2012 to 2014 when the ratio of voting rights held by foreign corporations was 20% or more. It turns out that the company is scrutinizing the actual situation as there is.
Fuji Media Holdings is the parent company of Fuji Television, and foreign capital regulations based on the Broadcasting Law stipulate that the ratio of voting rights held by foreign corporations is less than 20%.
However, the shares of Fuji Media Holdings held by a program production company that has a capital relationship with the subsidiary were not excluded even though they should have been excluded from the shares with voting rights. ..
According to Fuji Media Holdings, as a result, from the end of September 2012 to the end of March 2014, the ratio of voting rights held by foreign corporations was 20% or more, and it is suspected that it violated the foreign capital regulation of the Broadcasting Law. It turns out that the company is scrutinizing the actual situation as there is.
About seven years ago, the company learned that there was an error in the calculation of voting rights, but as of the end of September 2014, just before that, the foreign capital ratio was less than 20%, so it was necessary to announce it at that time. He explained that he did not report it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications.
The company is currently confirming in detail what percentage the foreign capital ratio at that time was, so "We will re-examine the practice so that this does not happen again and thoroughly grasp the accurate voting rights. ".
