Japanese commercial broadcaster Fuji Television Network and its parent company say they will adopt a series of steps to prevent scandals and other forms of misconduct.
        
                    
                  
Fuji Television President Shimizu Kenji and Kanemitsu Osamu, the president of parent company Fuji Media Holdings, visited the communications ministry on Wednesday to notify about the preventive measures.
        
                    
                  
The move came after a third-party panel set up by the companies concluded in March that a former female announcer of the network was sexually assaulted by TV personality Nakai Masahiro. The panel severely criticized the management&#039;s responsibility and their corporate culture.
        
                    
                  
The ministry took the scandal seriously, and early this month, issued a strong reprimand against the two companies and ordered them to report specific measures to strengthen human rights and compliance efforts, along with implementation status.
        
                    
                  
The two companies say Fuji TV has set up a president-led sustainability management committee including outside experts to constantly reflect human rights policies in management&#039;s decision-making, with discussions already underway.
        
                    
                  
The notification also states that some officials had focused too much on entertainment for TV programs, and the network takes it seriously.
        
                    
                  
Under the measures, Fuji TV will dissolve and reorganize its programming and variety show production departments. It will also separate the announcer section from the programming department and give stronger authority to the section over the announcers&#039; assignments.
        
                    
                  
Other measures include introducing retirement systems for executive officers, setting an upper limit on their tenure and abolishing its advisory system.
        
                    
                  
Fuji Media Holdings announced on Wednesday that it has revised downward its earnings forecast for fiscal 2024.
        
                    
                  
It said it expects a net loss of 20.1 million yen, or about 140 million dollars for the year. Its previous forecast was a surplus of 9.8 billion yen, or about 68 million dollars.
        
                    
                  
The parent company also said it will post a net loss for the first time since becoming a certified broadcasting holding company in 2008.
        
                    
                  
The company attributed the expected loss to an extraordinary loss on fixed assets and other factors.
        
                    
                  
Fuji Television revealed that the number of corporate sponsors airing commercials dropped to about 90 in April. That is down from more than 400 sponsors reported in the same month of the previous year.
