KBS 1TV, the premier channel of the Korean Broadcasting System, previously known as KBS Television/KBS Channel 9 in 1961, is the oldest TV channel in South Korea and was the successor to HLKZ-TV (or Daehan Bangsong), Korea's first TV channel. It is also the only non-commercial free-to-air television channel in the country.

KBS 1TV was once known for being one of the first commercial TV station in South Korea. But in 1963, the South Korean government through its Parliament, had introduced the Television License Fee system. Advertisements on KBS 1TV had been abolished in 1994.

The channel is well known for its news, culture, as well as sports.

KBS 1TV is the home of most news and current affairs programs being produced by KBS, as well as primetime daily dramas and weekend historical series. It also airs public affairs shows.

KBS 1TV has musical variety shows, but unlike most commercial stations which air it on a live basis, most KBS 1TV musical shows are recorded.

Since 1994, KBS 1TV is solely funded by license fees.
