NHK has filed a civil lawsuit against a Shiga-based hotel operator for unpaid broadcasting fees totaling approximately ¥11.4 million. The broadcaster claims the hotel operator failed to make payments for eight years and 10 months despite repeated requests. NHK's payment rate for fees fell to 78% at the end of fiscal 2024, down from 81% five years earlier. The organization attributed the legal action to its inability to reach an agreement with the company.
