[e글e글]For the return of the drama?… KBS broke the last minute broadcast of volleyball game

-It was criticized by viewers because KBS stopped broadcasting the women’s professional volleyball game shortly before the end. The reason for stopping the broadcast was because of the drama rerun.

On the afternoon of the 7th, KBS relayed the match between IBK Industrial Bank and Korea Expressway Corporation in the Pro Volleyball 2020-2021 V League held at the Hwaseong Gymnasium in Gyeonggi-do on 2TV.

On this day, the game drew attention as a confrontation between the 3rd place (industrial bank) and 4th place (road corporation) to win the’Spring Volleyball’ (postseason) ticket. The postseason can advance to third place.

Meanwhile, the women’s weekend game was held at 4pm. However, when KBS decided to broadcast live, the game was held at 1:15 pm, which was 3 hours ahead according to the KBS broadcast schedule. As they competed for the third place, a tight match unfolded. It seemed that the Korea Expressway Corporation had a pleasant start when winning the first set (25-21), but then gave two sets (22-25 23-25) to the IBK Bank. Even in the 4th set, the defeat spread from 7-17 to 7-17. Done. However, by winning five points in succession, he began to show his back feeling. The score gap gradually narrowed. Eventually, the Road Corporation won the set and dragged it to the edge of the cliff in the 5th set. In the 5th set, the Road Corporation, which held the momentum, succeeded in scoring successively. As the business continued to the bankruptcy of IBK, the game was 14-3 match points. If the Road Corporation wins just one more point, the game will end as it is. At this time, KBS said, “The broadcast will end here due to the relationship of regular broadcasts. We hope for your understanding. After that, you can continue to watch the game through MyK (app).” The weekend drama’Oh! Samkwang Villa!’ Live broadcast was stopped in order to air reruns.


Eventually, on this day, the road construction company won 5 sets (15-5) after 1 minute with a set score of 3-2. However, many volleyball fans who were watching the game on TV did not see the end of the game.

Since then, complaints arose in various online communities. In the match-related video posted by KBS on the YouTube channel, comments criticizing the broadcast of KBS continued.


A petition was posted on the KBS Viewers Rights Center to protest this broadcast situation. Petition Won-in said, “It makes sense not only to forcefully broadcast the game over the air while changing the game start time, but also to end it due to the formation relationship as the game gets longer. It seems to be a double attitude that deceives.”
