Admin’s Note

News about NHK’s reception fees is always a topic of debate. The recent increase in reminders sent out is particularly noteworthy. While I understand NHK’s intention to seek a fair distribution of costs, it evokes mixed feelings when considering the perspective of those receiving these reminders. Given the diverse opinions surrounding the reception fees, I hope for meaningful discussions and solutions moving forward. In this era where communication with viewers is essential, I believe it is crucial for NHK to find ways to build trust.
