YTN


YTN is the first 24-hour Korean news channel in the world to be broadcast throughout South Korea. It was founded on September 14, 1993, and began broadcasting on March 1, 1995.
YTN originally stands for Yonhap Television News, as the channel was the subsidiary of Yonhap News Agency until its separation from the agency in 1998. The channel's previous slogans are "Yesterday, Tomorrow and Now" and "Your True Network", both of them being acronyms for the channel's name after the separation. The channel's three current slogans are "Always First", "Exclusive Tomorrow" and "Yes! Top News!". It also has the slogan, "Whenever and wherever there is news, we are there."

History

YTN services

YTN programming consists of a mix of live news bulletins, live broadcasts from major breaking news, commentary panel programs and overnight replays.
YTN increased its all news programming offerings in 2017, with three new weekday shows: Midnight News, Morning News and News Talk.
Throughout most of the day, rolling news coverage is presented from one of two YTN's studios. From 7:30pm to 8:15pm and from 9:15pm to 10pm, commentary programs are broadcast. Most of these programs are presented by commentators discussing the general issues that Korea and the world are facing. On the evening part, along with updates, YTN also features main news of the day and expects tomorrow's headlines. Overnight, the channel carries a 20-minute news program presented live from the newsroom on the hour, along with replays of daytime magazines.
