'''MBC News Now''' is an over-the-air news channel owned by the [[Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation]]. The channel broadcasts on [[MBC TV]]'s multiplex. |
|||
== History == |
|||
The origin of the channel lies on a 2007 plan by MBC to launch a dedicated news channel on digital terrestrial television, using the MBC multiplex. The goal was to launch the channel in 2010, though tests would begin in December 2007 to provide information during snowstorms, and in 2008, its tests would increase to a nine-hour schedule. However, in October, KOBACO revised the plan to introduce such a service, granted that the rights to operate the channel were licensed to the relevant multiplex.<ref>{{Cite web |last=남궁 |first=욱 |date=October 18, 2007 |title=방송위 'MBC 24시간 뉴스채널' 제동 |url=https://www.joongang.co.kr/article/2917500 |access-date=2025-06-08 |website=[[JoongAng Ilbo]] |language=ko}}</ref> |

On February 4, 2020, MBC launched MBC 24 News as a web channel, on the 37th anniversary of MBC's conversion to a public service broadcaster. There was already the possibility of launching the channel on digital terrestrial television at a later date.<ref>{{Cite web |last=이 |first=근우 |date=2010-03-03 |title=MBC 디지털 시대 새 도약…'24시간 뉴스' 구축 |url=https://news.kbs.co.kr/news/pc/view/view.do?ncd=2057244 |access-date=2025-06-08 |website=MBC 뉴스 |language=ko}}</ref> In June 2020, it announced its conversion into an OTT service effective September 1. The aim was to reach out to users who don't regularly watch television and depend largely on the internet.<ref>{{Cite web |last=정 |first=민경 |date=2020-06-29 |title=MBC, 24시간 뉴스 스트리밍 도전한다 |url=https://www.mediatoday.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=207869 |access-date=2025-06-08 |website=Media Today |language=ko}}</ref> |

In August 2021, KOBACO suggested the creation of a terrestrial news channel (channel 9.2 using the MBC News Now multiplex) to disseminate disaster information nationwide, to viewers without access to cable television, which has news channels. As of December 2021, MBC News Now was conducting a daily 90-minute test broadcast (''MBC News Now-live''). MBC compared the new channel to [[Fox Weather]] and [[Weathernews Inc.]], which have dedicated teams in case of natural disasters.<ref>{{Cite web |last=정 |first=철운 |date=2021-12-16 |title=재난주관방송사 MBC 여전히 부족하다 |url=https://www.mediatoday.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=301245 |access-date=2025-06-08 |website=Media Today |language=ko}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=김 |first=고은 |date=2021-12-17 |title="MBC에 재난대응 응급실 같은 조직 필요…돈·사람 절실" |url=https://n.news.naver.com/mnews/article/127/0000031950?sid=102 |access-date=2025-06-08 |website=기자협회보 |language=ko |via=[[Naver News]]}}</ref> KOBACO received MBC's proposal on August 31, 2021.<ref>{{Cite web |last=변 |first=휘 |date=2021-08-31 |title=MBC에 '24시간 재난방송' 신규 채널 만든다 |url=https://n.news.naver.com/mnews/article/008/0004638740?sid=105 |access-date=2025-06-08 |website=Media Today |language=ko |via=[[Naver News]]}}</ref> |
