Funding
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.EBS Annual Revenue Report Channels
