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 1 December 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.^{[citation needed]}

JTBC was one of four new South Korean nationwide generalist cable TV networks alongside Dong-A Ilbo's Channel A, Chosun Ilbo's TV Chosun and Maeil Kyungje's MBN launch in 2011,^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7] to 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

The JoongAng Ilbo, which used to be a part of the Samsung, had previously owned a TV station. In 1964, it founded the Tongyang Broadcasting Corporation (TBC) and ran the network for 16 years. However, TBC 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.^[8] JoongAng Ilbo wanted to reuse name Tongyang Broadcasting Corporation, but failed because of Taegu Broadcasting Corporation, which has rights of TBC in South Korea since 1994.
