JTBC Newsroom is the main flagship newscast of JTBC Television Network. The newscast is aired from 20:00~21:40 KST. JTBC Newsroom replaced two of its predecessors, namely, JTBC News 10 and JTBC News 9.
It was launched on December 1, 2011 as JTBC News 10, together with the launch of the network itself. It was JTBC's first flagship newscast, which was then hosted by Jeon Young-U and Cha Ye Rin. Unlike newscasts from the mainstream networks, JTBC News 10 is more focused on providing in-depth stories throughout the program. It was one of the pioneer programs of JTBC that time, usually getting 1% rating according to AGB Nielsen Korea.
On November 5, 2012, major programming revamp happened within the JTBC network. This includes a major shift between drama and news programs. Its drama series were moved from 20:45/23:00 to 21:45, and their main newscast JTBC News 10 became JTBC News 9. Also, JTBC News 10 anchors Jeon Young-U and Cha Ye-Rin were eventually replaced by Jun Young Gi and Hwang Nam-Hee weeks before the 2012 South Korean Presidential Elections. Although it was entitled JTBC News 9, it actually starts at 20:50 KST. JTBC News 9 focused on news summaries similar to the mainstream networks, with some exclusive news features. It did not became that popular with viewers, as the newscast would place third among General Cable news programs, behind Channel A Main News and TV Chosun News Show Pan.
On May 9, 2013, Sohn Suk Hee was named as the president of JTBC News department. He was considered as the most prominent and the most influential news anchor in South Korea, having been with MBC Television and Radio for so many years. He left his anchor post on MBC Radio. Another major revamp was made within the entire network programming, including more news and current affairs line up, before he assumed the anchor post on the 16th of September. JTBC News 9 airs at 20:55. Like its predecessor JTBC News 10, JTBC News 9 focused more on in-depth reporting, increased live field reports and studio interviews. Its pilot episode rated 1.948%. Its ratings went up from the time that Sohn assumed the anchor post, rating between 1.5-2%, and it emerged as the No.1 General cable newscast.
On April.16,2014, Sohn's, and the whole network's credibility were tested when one of JTBC's anchor asked a very controversial question to one of Sewol ferry's survivors. Sohn apologized on the anchor's behalf during the newscast's opening.

저는 지난 30년 동안 갖가지 재난보도를 진행해 온 바 있습니다. 제가 배웠던 것은 재난보도 일수록 사실에 기반해서 신중해야 한다는 것과, 무엇보다도 희생자와 피해자의 입장에서 사안을 바라봐야 한다는 것이었습니다.
