The MBC Standard FM network has its origins on the Busan Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation in 1959.[1] However, the Seoul station didn't start operating until 2 December 1961, initially as an independent operation from the one in Busan (at the time known as Korean Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation), under the callsign HLKV. It was the first commercial radio station in Seoul.[2]
On 8 November 2022, MBC suspended its AM signals for six months to prepare for the end of AM radio.[3] In May 2024, MBC Standard FM announced the end of the Single Bungle Show[4] from 2 June, which had been airing continuously since 1973.[5] A trot music program took its place the following day.[6]
