JTBC (shortened from Joongang Tongyang Broadcasting Company; Korean: 제이티비씨; stylized in all lowercase) is a South Korean nationwide pay television network. Its primary shareholder is JoongAng Holdings, with a 25% stake.[1] It was launched on December 1, 2011.[2] JTBC is a generalist channel, with programming consisting of television series, variety shows, and news broadcasting; its news division is held in similar regard to the three main terrestrial networks in South Korea.[3]

In 2011, JTBC was one of four new South Korean nationwide generalist cable TV networks alongside The Dong-A Ilbo's Channel A, The Chosun Ilbo's TV Chosun and Maeil Business Newspaper's MBN.[4][5][6][7][8] They serve as supplementary networks to the existing conventional free-to-air TV networks like KBS, MBC, SBS and other smaller channels launched following deregulation in 1990.

History

[edit | edit source]
See also: Tongyang Broadcasting Company

Origins of the network can be traced back to 1964, when JoongAng Ilbo, then a part of Samsung, founded the Tongyang Broadcasting Corporation (TBC) and ran the network for 16 years until it was forced to merge with the state-run KBS by the military regime of Chun Doo-hwan in 1980.

At its founding in 2011, some media analysts considered the return of JoongAng Ilbo to television in JTBC as the reincarnation of TBC.[9] JoongAng Ilbo wanted to reuse the name Tongyang Broadcasting Corporation, but failed because Taegu Broadcasting Corporation has held the rights to TBC in South Korea since 1994.

Timeline
  • June 26, 1964: Tongyang Broadcasting Corporation launches.
  • December 7, 1964: TBC-TV starts broadcasting on channel 7.
  • November 30, 1980: TBC-TV merges with KBS Television by the special law of Chun Doo-hwan, president of military authorities, resulting in the launch of KBS 2TV.
  • July 22, 2009: Amendment of the media law was passed by the national assembly to deregulate the media market of South Korea. It was a response from the South Korean government to the Chojoongdong (The Chosun Ilbo, JoongAng Ilbo, and The Dong-A Ilbo), which were the major media conglomerates, aiming to launch the cable market.[10]
  • December 31, 2010: JTBC, TV Chosun, MBN, and Channel A are selected as "general cable television channel broadcasters".
  • March 11, 2011: JoongAng Ilbo establishes the JTBC corporation.[11]
  • December 1, 2011: JTBC (short for Joongang Tongyang Broadcasting Company) starts broadcasting on channel 15.[12]
  • May 2013: Former MBC news anchor Sohn Suk-hee is designated as JTBC's new president for its news division.[13]
  • January 2015: JTBC constructs a new building in Digital Media City in Sangam-dong, Seoul.
  • November 2018: Sohn Suk-hee is promoted to JTBC's president and CEO.[14]
  • June 2019: JTBC acquires the Korean rights to the Olympic Games from 2026 to 2032.[15]
  • April 2020: JTBC moves its newscasts to Creation Hall, starting with JTBC Newsroom, with its other programs following suit on May 18.[16]
  • June 2021: JTBC buys a majority stake in production company Wiip from Creative Artists Agency (CAA).[17]
