KBS World is a Canadian Category B Korean language specialty channel with English subtitles and is owned by All TV Inc.. It broadcasts programming from KBS World as well as local Canadian content.
KBS World features programming from Korea's public broadcaster KBS. Programming includes news, movies, drama, sports, cultural programmes and documentaries.
KBS World originally launched in June 2006, exclusively on Rogers Cable, under the ownership of Seabridge Media. It is currently unclear due to lack of evidence, however, sometime in 2009, Seabridge Media shut down, leading to the closure of KBS World. Due to the closure of KBS World, All TV Inc stepped in and launched its own version of KBS World in July 2009 on Rogers Cable allowing the service to remain on the air, using its own licence granted by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).
