KBS2 is a news, entertainment and drama channel of the Korean Broadcasting System (KBS). It is famous for its drama and entertainment programs. The television station is a result of the forced merger of the Tongyang Broadcasting Corporation (former body of JTBC) to KBS in 1980. KBS2 is similar to BBC One in the United Kingdom, NPO 1 in the Netherlands, France 2 in France and Das Erste in Germany.

Funding

KBS2 accepts commercial advertisements unlike KBS1 which is because KBS1 is prohibited to air commercial advertisements upon the enactment of the revised Broadcasting Act in 1994.
