OBS Gyeongin TV is a South Korean free-to-air television station covering Gyeonggi Province, Incheon and Seoul. It is the only regional television network in operation, that is not affiliated with any national broadcast network.
At the time of launch, OBS Gyeongin TV Ltd. was owned by the following companies:[2]
- Young-An Hat Company (22.64%)
- Media Will (12.43%)
- KD Group (12.30%)
Officially, "OBS" does not stand for anything. However, as the channel's first president Joo Chulhwan [ko] explained, the "O" could mean "One", "Our", "Open", "Oasis" and "Opportunity".[3]
On August 25, 2022, OBS requested a permit for a radio station, operating on the former FM frequency of the Gyeonggi Broadcasting Corporation.[4] The station, as OBS Radio, opened on March 30, 2023.
