History

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.
