NHK's budget for the new fiscal year and fiscal 2023 was approved by a majority of the LDP, Constitutional Democratic Party, Japan Restoration Party, Komeito, National Democratic Party, Social Democratic Party, and others at a plenary session of the House of Representatives on the 24th.
NHK's fiscal 2023 budget includes 6440 billion yen in business revenues and 6720 billion yen in business expenditures, and the deficit of 280 billion yen in the difference in business income and expenditure, which is calculated by subtracting expenses from revenues, will be covered by "carryforwards for financial stability."
In addition to reducing the subscription fee by 10% for both terrestrial and satellite contracts from October, the plan includes strengthening the dissemination of reliable information that supports the safety of people's lives and expanding the distribution of news programs for local communities through NHK Plus.
Before reducing satellite waves by one at the end of March next year, we will launch the tentative names "New BS1K" and "New BS3K" in December.
The NHK budget was voted on at a plenary session of the House of Representatives on the 1th, and was approved by a majority of the LDP, Constitutional Democratic Party, Japan Restoration Party, Komeito, National Democratic Party, and Social Democratic Party.
On the other hand, the Communist Party, the Reiwa Shinsengumi, disagreed.
The NHK budget is to be approved by both houses of the House of Representatives, and will then be deliberated in the House of Councillors.
