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. 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. As a result, the network was affected by the Policy for Merger and Abolition of the Press, which limited press freedom in the country.
In 1992, the network moved its headquarters to from Jongno to Mok-dong.
In 1995, the station opened CBS Music FM.
In 1998, CBS launched another radio station, CBS Pyojun FM.
In 2002, CBS TV was launched. From 2005, CBS commenced international broadcasting, with its programs available in the United States.
