NTV's television network has been plagued by scandal in recent years, most notably after it was revealed that an NTV producer paid viewers to manipulate TV ratings. NTV Chairman Seiichiro Ujiie was compelled to step down from his post at the National Association of Commercial Broadcasters of Japan, an industry-wide ethics body, in October 2003. Shortly thereafter, he resigned as Chairman. NTV subsequently came under fire for staging part of a news show.

On May 18, 2006, it was discovered that Nippon Television's announcer Sosuke Sumitani was sent to the prosecutor's office for filming up a high school girl's skirt using a camera phone. Sumitani served as a reporter of Dotch Cooking Show but was forced to leave because of this incident in February, 2006. Nippon Television, however, never publicly reported about the scandal or his name. In addition, not only NTV but also other radio and television stations never reported them. Some people said "his name should be announced in public!" and criticized NTV.
