History
[edit]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 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.
