Why is Takashi Tachibana not supported? | Majority does not want NHK to be broken

Many people want NHK to be fixed, not broken.

Takashi Tachibana, who has a strong presence with the easy-to-understand catchphrase, "Break NHK," but is losing the centripetal force of his supporters due to the reforms that have not progressed at all.

Currently, I have the impression that only bad topics are taking precedence, such as making controversial remarks and recommending people with social problems rather than the party motto.

If you were someone who paid attention to him once, you would say, "I don't care about that, so if you want to break NHK, please destroy it as soon as possible. At least make that effort."

In fact, while it is becoming clear that he has no particular influence on the abolition of NHK's subscription fee, we have started to see posts calling him a "liar" on SNS.

If he does something about NHK's receiving fees in the future, public opinion may change a little.

However, I also think that this party motto of "breaking NHK" itself may not be something that attracts much attention from the public.

The reason is that NHK is quite popular.

Although viewer ratings have fallen compared to its heyday, with Taiga dramas, morning dramas, and New Year's Eve song contests, the fact that NHK is being talked about by men and women of all ages shows that there is demand for NHK from a wide range of generations.

For example, the number of tweets about Asadora (Morning drama) is incomparably higher than that of Tachibana, and it is trending every day.

In addition, as NHK has a nationwide network, it also functions as a data bank of video materials, including news and special features that focus on local areas, questions about social issues, and construction of educational programs.

It could even be said that the public does not want NHK to be dismantled, and rather it is desirable for NHK to continue in a form that benefits the public.

There are many ways to do that.

Scrambling is one of them.

Also, NHK can lower the receiving fee.

Up until now, we have been making programs that “officially” don’t have sponsors, but it would be nice to stop doing that.

Instead of running commercials, we will charge for personal connections and connections with companies.

For example, there is a case that the sales of chicken ramen increased in the morning drama "Manpuku", so it would be nice to ask Nissin Foods to become a sponsor for the production and special feature of the follow-up story of Manpuku, or for a travel program. They can also ask for sponsors for the sportswear, shoes, etc. that you use.

Rather, it would be nice to have the movement of money that seems to be already being done more clearly.

We also sell teaching materials such as English conversation and Korean conversation.

It would be good to discuss and point out the possibility that such NHK can obtain another source of income.

How many times has Tachibana approached NHK executives with such negotiations?

It's not just a stance to sell a fight, it's a negotiation.

If he can't negotiate, he don't have what it takes to be a politician.

Many people do not want NHK to be dismantled.

If NHK takes the initiative to approach the public and review its receiving fees and income sources, Tachibana's presence will likely shrink further.
