The Christian Broadcasting System ( CBS ) is a South Korean religious radio and television network aimed at the country's Christian population.

History [ edit ]

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]
