Since its opening in 1997, coinciding with Ulsan's elevation to a metropolitan city, UBC Ulsan Broadcasting has served as the eyes, ears, and voice of the citizens for the past 29 years, growing into Ulsan's representative broadcaster while sharing in the joys and sorrows of the local community.

Following a memorandum of understanding signed with Ulsan City in 2021 regarding the relocation of its new headquarters, the broadcaster is currently constructing a facility with a total floor area of 15,000 square meters, along with a 320-unit residential complex in the Ok-dong area of Nam-gu.

The new headquarters will be equipped with a cutting-edge UHD broadcasting system and will feature an open studio, a media experience center, and public rest areas, transforming into an open space for broadcasting culture.

UBC Ulsan Broadcasting has decided to return a total of 50 billion won to the local community, including cash and land, from the profits generated through the new headquarters development project.

Ulsan City is currently reviewing plans to utilize the land and funds contributed by UBC to establish public amenities, such as lifelong education facilities, administrative spaces, and a public library.

The construction of the UBC Ulsan Broadcasting new headquarters complex is currently 97.9% complete and is scheduled for completion by the end of July this year.

Through its new headquarters and this public contribution, UBC Ulsan Broadcasting plans to open a new future of growing together with the local community.
