Korean Educational Broadcasting System ( Korean: 한국교육방송공사, romanized: Hanguggyoyugbangsong-gongsa) or EBS is a South Korean educational public broadcaster and radio network covering South Korean territory, and the only major South Korean radio and television network without a separate regional service. It was established as KBS 3 and KBS Educational Radio in the 1980s, and became an independent corporation in 1990.
Though nominally a public broadcasting entity, EBS gets most of its yearly budget from advertisements and sales revenue. In 2012, 72.1% of its revenue came from textbook sales, publications and ad revenues on its TV Radio and internet platforms, while the rest came from TV license fees (EBS gets 3% of the total License Fee being collected by the Korean Broadcasting System) and government grants. [1]
EBS offers one pay-television channel, EBS America, in the United States. Its programming centers around Korean culture, language education, and children's shows.
All foreign cartoons are dubbed in Korean.
