EBN

**EBN** (also known as the Ethnic Broadcasting Network) is an Cowellan television commercial channel owned by Ethnic Broadcasting Network. It was launched on February 13, 1929. It is the fifth most-watched television channel in Cowell after CTC & NTV.

## History

The channel was launched on Valentine's Day, 1929, via EBN-TV channel 8 Kemser-Emerald City and EBG-TV channel 8 Sapphire Bay. During that time, it mostly airs drama, children, comedy, imported and local shows, initially from 24 hours a day since 1935.

Since EBN has expanded to the Cowell country since 1929.

In 1983, Ethnic Broadcasting Network launched a video-on-demand streaming service called EBN Tele-Online (now EBN+).
