YTN () is the first 24-hour Korean news channel to be broadcast throughout South Korea. It was founded on September 14, 1993, and began broadcasting on March 1, 1995.
YTN originally stands for Yonhap Television News (; ), as the channel was the subsidiary of Yonhap News Agency until its separation from the agency in 1998. The channel's previous slogans are "Yesterday, Tomorrow and Now" and "Your True Network", both of them being backronyms for the channel's name after the separation. The channel's three current slogans (since the 2014 rebrand) are "Always First", "Exclusive Tomorrow" and "Yes! Top News!". It also has the slogan, "Whenever and wherever there is news, we are there." In 2011, thirteen years after parting ways with YTN, the Yonhap News Agency started its own channel.
