Major conglomerates are eyeing JTBC
If Taekwang acquires it, the editorial tone might change somewhat, but if CJ or Hoban takes over, there likely won't be much change.
For reference, newspapers and large conglomerates cannot hold more than 10% of terrestrial broadcasting shares, and for general programming channels (종편), they cannot hold more than 30%. Since this deal is structured such that a conglomerate takes over the Hong family's 30% stake, there are no legal issues.
Ultimately, the character of the outlet will depend on who takes it over.
