본 연구는 개국 5년차에 접어든 종합편성채널의 독립제작 환경과 관행을 미디어 생산과정의 유연전문화 및 조직 관행 관점에서 구체적으로 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 독립PD, 방송작가, 종편 관계자 등 13명을 심층 인터뷰한 결과, 첫째, 종편은 보도프로그램을 제외한 프로그램제작에서 독립제작에 의존도 높은 유연전문화 제작구조가 정착되었고, 시청률과 성과 중심의 계약 관행으로 인해 다양성이 담보된 프로그램 제작이 어려울 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 둘째, 일부 채널에서는 지상파 보다 높은 제작비 및 인센티브 제도 등의 제작여건 개선도 있었지만, 이러한 보상체계는 방송사 내부의 경쟁과 독립제작자들 간의 경쟁을 심화시켜 저작권의 일방적 소유, 불공정거래로 이어졌음을 알 수 있었다. 셋째, 신문방송 겸영에 따른 사주의 영향력 뿐 아니라 신문사 출신 관리자의 관리구조로 인한 위계적인 독립제작 관행이 정착될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 마지막으로 종편 내부 관계자와 독립제작자들의 '종합편성'에 대한 인식을 살펴본 결과 일부 종편사 관계자는 다양성보다는 수익과 성과 측면에서 편성 장르와 내용이 우선적인 고려사항이라고 밝혔고, 광고주와 광고국에 의해 독립제작자들의 제작권이 침해받을 경우 다양한 소재와 장르에 대한 접근이 어려움을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 종편채널의 편성과 프로그램 독립제작은 기존의 '외주제작' 정책과 다른 관점에서의 제도적 보완과 규제가 필요함을 논의하였다.

This study examined changes in the independent production environment in the perspectives from flexible specialization of labor and media routines since January 2011, when comprehensive programming television channels (JTBC, MBN, Channel A, TV Chosun) emerged in Korea. In-depth interviews were conducted with thirteen individuals, including producers from independent production companies, broadcast writers, and individuals involved with these TV channels. The interview results indicated that a flexible specialization production system had been established by the comprehensive programming channels. This means that they were heavily dependent on independent producers, except in relations to their own news programs. Moreover, it was identified that the production of diverse programs could be difficult due to absurd contract practices such as those related to TV ratings and performance systems. Second, these channels have implemented some positive changes such as the payment of higher production costs and an incentive system, compared to terrestrial TV stations. However, the incentive system also helps to aggravate internal competition in the channel and also instigate contract competitions among independent companies, which can eventually result in the channels for holding exclusive rights to certain content and, hence, unfair business practices. Third, as a result of the newspaper and broadcast cross-owenership system of the comprehensive programming channels, hierarchical independent production practices can be established under the influence of newspaper proprietors and executives or managers who have previously worked for newspapers. Lastly, as a result of interviews with independent producers and individuals involved with the TV channels concerning the awareness of comprehensive programming channels, it could not be ascertained whether it is difficult to produce programs dealing with diverse items and genres, because programming autonomy has been distorted by capital or the advertisement market. In this circumstance, it is not surprising that some comprehensive programming channels mentioned that they prioritize profit and performance in programming. In conclusion, it is absolutely imperative that complementary and legal measures be implemented institutionally in order to redress the existing systematic dysfunctional routines in the independent productions of the comprehensive programming TV channels in Korea.
