The Tokyo Stock Exchange said Friday it will move Nippon Television Network Corp.'s stock from the monitoring post back to the first section Saturday.

The bourse made the decision after the broadcaster decided to correct a problem related to its financial statements, averting a delisting, the TSE said.

The TSE placed NTV's stock on the monitoring post on Nov. 6 after the company said shares reported as held by Tsuneo Watanabe, chairman of Yomiuri Shimbun Group Honsha, actually belonged to the holding company of the nation's largest mass-circulation newspaper group.
