Yonhap News TV (Korean: 연합뉴스TV), stylised as YONHAP NEWS TV, is a South Korean pay television network and broadcasting company, owned by the Yonhap News Agency-led consortium. It began broadcasting on 1 December 2011. Yonhap News TV started broadcasting with four new South Korean nationwide generalist cable TV networks. Those are JoongAng Ilbo's JTBC, Dong-A Ilbo's Channel A, 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.
