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]

Religious broadcasting, sometimes referred to as faith-based broadcasts, is the dissemination of television and/or radio content that intentionally has religious ideas, religious experience, or religious practice as its core focus. In some countries, religious broadcasting developed primarily within the context of public service provision, whilst in others, it has been driven more by religious organisations themselves. Across Europe and in the US and Canada, religious broadcasting began in the earliest days of radio, usually with the transmission of religious worship, preaching or "talks". Over time, formats evolved to include a broad range of styles and approaches, including radio and television drama, documentary, and chat show formats, as well as more traditional devotional content. Today, many religious organizations record sermons and lectures, and have moved into distributing content on their own web-based IP channels.
