It is famous for its drama and entertainment programs. The television station is a result of the forced merger of the Tongyang Broadcasting Corporation (former body of JTBC) to KBS in 1980. KBS2 is similar to BBC One in the United Kingdom, NPO 1 in the Netherlands, France 2 in France and Das Erste in Germany.
