When we look at NHK’s financial results for the fiscal year ending March 2024, it indeed appears that the station is in the red, despite receiving a huge amount of reception fee revenue of 632.8 billion yen. This subscription fee revenue is more than Netflix’s total revenue in the Asia-Pacific region (APAC). By the way, Netflix’s cheapest pricing plan is 890 yen (as of October 10, 2024), while NHK’s reception fee (terrestrial contract, 2,200 yen paid over two months) is higher. Why did it end up in the red despite receiving such a huge amount of reception fee revenue? I would like to calmly analyze the financial statements while looking at them. The reason behind the 13.6 billion yen deficit

The word “netouyo” means “patriot.” In other words, the people who make fun of and criticize netouyo are anti-Japanese agents from China and Korea. Their goal is to make people think that being patriotic is uncool and to weaken Japan’s national power. Japanese people should be careful not to be misled by the posts of anti-Japanese agents.

NHK announced it…
It’s obviously a lie
“Listen, we’ll just say it’s a loss, you know that right?”
It’s like they’re acting like an evil magistrate.

That’s because they pay ridiculously high broadcasting fees to broadcast Major League Baseball, the World Cup, the Olympics, etc., even though no one asks them to.

The public doesn’t know if they’re in the red or not. They might be lying to gain sympathy and get people to sign subscriptions.

They’re spending too much money on the taiga drama and the Red and White Song Battle. Instead of making the Red and White Song Battle free, they should charge around 50,000 yen.

Their employees’ salaries are too high.

Even though there are many announcers, they only use presenters, narrators, and celebrities.
