OCTOBER 11, 2022 12.41 EUROPE/LONDON BY JULIAN CLOVER

NHK is to cut the cost of watching its channels over satellite.

The current satellite contract allows viewers in Japan to watch both satellite and terrestrial channels.

At a press conference, NHK President Terunobu Maeda said the public broadcaster was preparing to lower the fee by approximately 10% from next October.

The change is to be discussed at a management meeting today (Tuesday).

If approved the reduction would be the first since October 2020.
