Korea and Japan
Jae Yung Cho, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Dept. of Advertising and PR Chungwoon University
The purpose of this study is to discuss
the promotion strategy for building image of broadcasting
co. by analyzing how the three television channels,
KBS, MBC and SBS, broadcasted the World Cup in South
Korea and Japan, more specifically the matches and news.
Since the tangible factors influenced on the brand image
formation of the channels are their programming, contents
and additional profit-making or nonprofit works, it
was analyzed that their preparatory proceedings, broadcasting
matches and news for the World Cup and plans for the
post World Cup.
As the results, they all produced similar
programs for promoting the World Cup and their own co.
and called popular casters and commentators for the
matches; they programmed in expedient ways that they
canceled the regular programs and overlapped several
matches on two different channels, and broadcasted news
in related the matches more than 70% of the total amount;
they highly competited for making profit by advertising
and ARS quiz events; and after the World Cup they programmed
monotonously, rebroadcasting many matches, showing unplanned
interviews with the players and their families and displaying
thier post-World Cup works.
Conclusively, they need
to build their own image more specifically, systematically
and differentially with long term view instead of an
immediate profit in this current complex and diverse
media environment, and the audience sovereignty should
take precedence of this.
