Korea Educational Broadcasting System (한국교육방송공사) or EBS is a South Korean educational public broadcaster and radio network covering South Korean territory, and the only major South Korean radio and television network without a separate regional service. Established as KBS 3, Seoul Animation Center and KBS Educational Radio in the 1980s, and became an independent corporation in 1990. EBS strives to supplement school education and promote lifelong education for everyone in Korea.
The main counterparts of this network are PBS in the United States, as well as BBC Two, BBC Four and CBBC in the United Kingdom, CCTV in the China, ABC in the Australia, PTV in the Philippines, & Ecuador TV, and Gamavisión (Ecuador) in Ecuador.

In 2012, 72.1% of its revenue came from textbook sales, publications and ad revenues on its TV Radio and internet platforms, while the rest came from TV license fees (EBS gets 3% of the total License Fee being collected by the Korean Broadcasting System) and government grants.[1]
