"We conducted a reorganization last November through voluntary retirement and management changes and we continue to implement these changes this year," they explained. "'Newdesk' has also gone through reorganization. For public broadcast channels, move to 7.30 at night, a time slot that has never been seen before."
MBC has recently faced intense competition in the drama department of cable TV channels, such as JTBC and TVN. Other public TV broadcasters (KBS and SBS) also experienced the same thing in obtaining lower viewer ratings in their weekly time slots.
