Korea Educational Broadcasting System () or EBS is a South Korean educational public radio and television network focused on the South Korean territory. It is the only major South Korean radio and television network that is a joint venture between the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Ministry of Education without a separate regional service. It was established as KBS 3 and KBS Educational Radio in the 1980s and became an independent corporation in 1990.

Funding

Though nominally a public broadcasting entity, EBS derives most of its annual revenue from advertisements and sales. In 2012, 72.1% of its revenue came from textbook sales, publications, and advertising on its television, radio, and internet platforms, while the remainder came from television license fees and government grants. EBS receives 3% of the total television license fees collected nationwide.
