MBC General Strike causes continuing cancellations of weekend entertainment programs "Infinite Challenge" and "We Got Married"

MBC's weekend programming has been hit hard by cancellations. In the aftermath of the MBC general strike, MBC announced that the planned episodes of "We Got Married" and "Infinite Challenge" for February 4th would be cancelled. In their place, previously aired specials from the two popular shows were aired instead.

Because of these programs, MBC regularly receives the highest viewer ratings for their Saturday night time slots. With the re-running of past specials, MBC will take a big hit in viewership rating.

"Show! Music Focus" and "World Changing Quiz Show" were still aired normally, but the "Weekend News Desk" was only ten minutes long.

The strike began on January 30th at 6AM, with protesters pushing for the resignation of the MBC Labour Union President Kim Jaechul and the normalization of the company.
