The Christian Broadcasting System (CBS) is a South Korean religious radio and television network aimed at the country's Christian population.
History
CBS commenced broadcasting on December 15, 1954, as a radio station (with the call sign HLKY) for the purpose of establishing the first religious missionary network in Korea.[1] The network was known for its contributions to human rights, democratization of economy, and for its political stance against the authoritarian regimes of the 1960s to the 1980s.[2] As a result, the network was affected by the Policy for Merger and Abolition of the Press, which limited press freedom in the country.[3]
In 1992, the network moved its headquarters to from Jongno to Mok-dong.[2]
In 1995, the station opened CBS Music FM.[4]
In 1998, CBS launched another radio station, CBS Pyojun FM.[5]
In 2002, CBS TV was launched.[6] From 2005, CBS commenced international broadcasting, with its programs available in the United States.[7]
