Sunday Night (Hangul: 일밤; RR: Ilbam) is the longest-running South Korean television entertainment programme airing on MBC. It runs for 175 minutes, including roughly fifteen minutes of advertising. Previously named Big March of Sunday Night (Hangul: 일요일 밤의 대행진; RR: Iryoil Bam-ui Dahaengjin) when it debuted in 1981, and changing its name to Sunday Sunday Night (Hangul: 일요일 일요일 밤에; RR: Iryoil Iryoil Bame) in 1988, in March 2011, the show has changed its name for the second time in its history in an effort to increase its popularity again at the 5:20PM timeslot, with its rival contenders, KBS2's Happy Sunday and SBS's Good Sunday. As of April 29, 2012, the name was once again changed to its most commonly known abbreviation, Sunday Night (일밤).

King of Mask Singer (Korean: 복면가왕) is a mystery music show featuring several celebrities to compete in singing competition while given elaborate masks to wear in order to conceal their identity, thus removing factors such as popularity, career and age that could lead to prejudiced voting. The winners of each pair are selected by the audience and panel of judges through instant live votes. The names of contestants are not revealed unless they have been eliminated. The show debuted on April 5, 2015, replacing Animals.
