[Asia Economy Reporter Seolgina Jo] The Ministry of Science and ICT announced on the 22nd that it will relicense 14 companies affiliated with the comprehensive cable broadcasting operator (SO) D'Live.
The license validity period is five years from the 28th of this month to January 27, 2025, and the applicable companies are ㈜D'Live, ㈜D'Live Gyeonggi, ㈜D'Live Gyeongdong, ㈜D'Live Guro Geumcheon, ㈜D'Live Nowon, ㈜D'Live East Seoul, ㈜D'Live Mapo, ㈜D'Live Northern, ㈜D'Live West Seoul, ㈜D'Live Songpa, ㈜D'Live Yongsan, ㈜D'Live Woori, ㈜D'Live Jungnang, and ㈜D'Live Jungang, totaling 14 companies.
