Atlanta has

the seventh largest Korean population in the United States following Los

Angeles, New York, the Washington, D.C. - Baltimore metropolitan area,

San Francisco, Chicago and Seattle. All of these cities have at least

one Korean channel on cable except for Seattle.

KTN offers

24 hours of news, sitcoms, soap operas and entertainment shows from the

following Korean broadcast networks: Korean Broadcasting Systems 1 and

2, Mun Hwa Broadcasting Corporation, Seoul Broadcasting Systems, YTN Headline

News.

Local programs

will make up about 25 percent of the programming, including daily Korean

news about Korean leaders and happenings specifically in Atlanta, as well

as self-development, language, religious and entertainment programs that

are produced out of the KTN studios in Duluth, Ga.

KTN is the

first Korean television station in Atlanta and celebrated its 15th anniversary

in June 2001. A main supplier of Korean local and national news in Atlanta,

the station previously broadcast six hours of Korean programming on TV-67,

a UHF low power television station that transmitted to areas surrounding

the "Korea Town" district on Buford Highway. Now with clear

digital images available throughout the entire Atlanta area through AT&T

Broadband, KTN has increased Korean programming to 24 hours.

"This

is a victory for all Koreans in Atlanta. We are glad to be the first Korean

television station in Atlanta to be able to bring clear pictures and content

straight from South Korea," said James C. Sim, president and CEO

of KTN. "KTN will bring news not only from around the world, but

from Korean leaders here in Atlanta, where news will directly affect Korean

citizens of Atlanta."

"AT&T

Broadband is proud to be the first cable carrier to provide Korean content

to the expanding Korean American population in the Atlanta area,"

said Steve White, senior vice president for AT&T Broadband's Atlanta

Region. "We recognize that it's necessary to think on a global scale

and offer cultural diversity in the programming we offer."

The channel

will cost $24.99 a month. Subscriptions are now being accepted via fax,
