Though nominally a public broadcasting entity, EBS gets most of its yearly budget from advertisements and sales revenue. 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]
EBS offers one pay-television channel, EBS America, in the United States. Its programming centers around Korean culture, language education, and children's shows.
All foreign cartoons are dubbed in Korean.
