SBS may become the first Korean broadcasting company to create subsidiary for their variety shows

AKP STAFF

SBS may become the first Korean broadcaster to create a subsidiary for its variety show programming.

In recent voting held from June 7-9 KST, more than 60% of the current staff voted for the launch of a separate studio company for SBS variety shows, the network revealed. 91 out of 99 staff members participated and 68 voted in favor, more or less confirming that the subsidiary will happen.

On June 11, a representative for SBS said in a statement, "Currently, only the members of the variety show division have voted for the subsidiary, and whether or not the studio will be launched has not been specifically decided."

Meanwhile, this would not be the first subsidiary studio SBS has created, having launched Studio S, a subsidiary for their dramas, back in 2020. Since its launch, Studio S has produced a number of popular works, including, 'Penthouse,' 'Taxi Driver,' 'Our Beloved Summer,' and 'Through the Darkness.'

Wow, so would this mean PDs would have more creative control? If they did have more creative control or freedom, I wonder what would be the result. Would they try to bring back some of the old school chaotic energy of older shows?

They will do it for money, tax, and outside investment . when you privatize the most profitable part of your business . it is not always something good
