History
EBS2 was approved on 23 December 2014 and started broadcasting on 11 February 2015. The channel contributes to the fall of the burden in the Korean educational system by reaching middle school targets, while EBS1 remains as a channel for all ages.{{cite news |title=[협회보 제12호] [기고문] 2015년 2월 11일 첫 방송 국내 최초 지상파 다채널방송 EBS2 개국 |url=http://uhdkorea.org/%ED%98%91%ED%9A%8C%EB%B3%B4-%EC%A0%9C12%ED%98%B8-%EA%B8%B0%EA%B3%A02015%EB%85%84-2%EC%9B%94-11%EC%9D%BC-%EC%B2%AB-%EB%B0%A9%EC%86%A1-%EA%B5%AD%EB%82%B4-%EC%B5%9C%EC%B4%88-%EC%A7%80%EC%83%81/ |work=UHD Korea |date=2015 |language=ko}} The channel opened at 3pm that afternoon with a special ceremony at the EBS facilities. Unlike EBS1, commercial advertising is prohibited, except for government campaigns, as the channel operates as a subchannel.{{cite news |title='다채널 방송'시대 열었다…'EBS2' 개국 |url=https://www.yna.co.kr/view/AKR20150211140000017 |work=Yonhap News Agency |date=February 11, 2015 |language=ko}} The government limited the usage of subchannels to KBS and EBS, but the subscription television industry was worried because of the "terrestrial broadcasting monopoly".{{cite news |last1=이 |first1=선희 |title=방통위 "다채널방송은 EBS에 국한" |url=https://www.mk.co.kr/news/business/7200875 |date=January 28, 2016 |language=ko}}
