Channel A Corporation (Hangul: 주식회사 채널에이; Hanja: 株式會社 채널에이), known as Channel A (Hangul: 채널A, typeset CHANNEL A), is a nationwide general cable TV network and broadcasting company in South Korea. The company's largest shareholder is Dong-A Media Group (DAMG), which consists of 12 affiliate companies including Dong-A Ilbo. Channel A was launched on 1 December 2011. Channel A's management philosophy is 'Open & Creative' and the company slogan is 'Channel A, A Canvas that Holds Your Dreams.' JaeHo Kim currently serves as the chief executive officer of Channel A.
Channel A is one of four newly launched South Korea nationwide general cable TV networks alongside JoongAng Ilbo's JTBC, Chosun Ilbo's TV Chosun and Maeil Kyungje's MBN in 2011. The four new networks supplement existing conventional free-to-air TV networks like KBS, MBC, SBS, and other smaller channels launched following deregulation in 1990.
Dong-A Broadcasting System (DBS, Hangul: 동아방송) was established on April 25th, 1963.
DBS' first ever TV show and South Korea’s first docudrama, ‘Yeomyeong 80 Years,’ aired every night from 22:15 to 22:35. Since broadcasters at the time were only airing melodramas and soap operas, ‘Yeomyeong 80 Years’ was a radical debut of a new drama genre in South Korean television history. It stopped airing in 1964 and during the same year, the show was made into a six-book novel series and received the Hankook Ilbo Publishing Award. ‘Delightful Livingroom,’ DBS' oldest TV show, was a talk show where different visitors visit the set (“livingroom”) and talk about different topics in humorous, sarcastical, and satirical manners. This show is also considered as South Korea’s first television talk show.
