MBC denies reports of resuming variety shows starting with 'Radio Star' tomorrow

MBC recently created some confusion with their schedule released for this week as it had shown their regular variety shows airing in the usual time slots. This resulted in several reports about variety shows resuming starting tomorrow, but the station has since then issued a statement to state that 'Radio Star' has been canceled, but that the other shows later this week may or may not air depending on the situation.

Since the station previously said that they will continue suspending variety shows, the new schedule had viewers believing this meant the station may have changed its mind and that regular programming would resume starting with 'Radio Star' tomorrow.

However, MBC revealed that for now 'Radio Star' is still not set to air. After holding a meeting today, a rep commented, "We believed that there is a risk in airing a variety show when mourning continues, so it has been canceled for this week... Following last week, this week's 'Radio Star' will also be suspended. Most of the variety shows aren't even recording at the moment, so it seems the variety shows suspension could continue."

Although 'Radio Star' will not air, the broadcast station's reps revealed that the other programs later this week are still up in the air currently, and that it really depends on the situation. Another rep commented, "'Stargazing', which is set for the 24th, is also on the schedule, but the schedule is open to changes as it all depends on the situation. This also goes for the weekend variety shows."

Meanwhile, SBS and KBS are still in talks over airing their regularly scheduled programs.
