The Japan Commercial Broadcasters Association (JBA) Broadcasting
Standards were established at the same time as the first commercial radio
started in Japan in 1951. It was not legal at first, but independently established
by commercial broadcasters in Japan born in the post-World War II democratic
movements.
Thereafter, the revised Broadcast Law requires that broadcasters establish
program standards and Japanese commercial broadcasters apply JBA Broadcast
Standards to their program standards and revise them repeatedly in accordance
with changes in society and the media environment.
This article explores the history and background of JBA Broadcast Standards,
and the autonomous and independent attitude of commercial broadcasters
in Japan that has always been criticized by both the politically powerful and
the general public based on various publications of JBA
