The Christian Broadcasting System (CBS) is a South Korean religious radio and television network. It airs both religious and non religious programming.
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.敎派不協和로 진통겪는 基督敎放送局, 《동아일보》, 1969.8.23
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.{{Cite web|url=https://news.naver.com/main/read.nhn?mode=LSD&mid=sec&sid1=103&oid=001&aid=0003629726|title = 기독교방송 목동사옥 신축 이전}} As a result, the network was affected by the Policy for Merger and Abolition of the Press, which limited press freedom in the country.김중호, [http://www.cbs.co.kr/nocut/show.asp?idx=1360487 기자도 서슬퍼런 신군부 총칼 앞에 숨죽여야만 했다], 노컷뉴스
In 1992, the network moved its headquarters to from Jongno to Mok-dong.
