Inet-TV (아이넷TV) is a South Korean television channel created in October 2002. It specializes in Korean adult music which includes Korean trot music as well as its revival among younger generations.[1]
History
The channel was set up in 2002 by Park Jun-hee, at a time when trot was badly seen in Korean society, with its television presence being limited to KBS Music Stage. The channel started airing programs from iTV Kyung-In Broadcasting, which, until 2004, operated a TV station. In 2005, it started producing its own content, but its ratings were still low.[2]
In 2015, the channel announced that it would make a second season of iTV's Dangerous Invitation.[3]
In January 2016, it introduced a new program, Inet Golden Show.[4] As of January 2020, its archives consisted of 50,000 files, including original programming, acquired programming and a substantial amount of iTV's archives. The channel is mostly self-sustainable, with most of its programming being catered to the trot genre, accumulating about 500 million won per program.[1]
