Yeongseo era[edit | edit source]
Park Yeongseo bought ATV in 1982, as well as ACR and Aoshi Ilbo.
Crisis[edit | edit source]
The arrival of a fourth national commercial network, YTV, backed by independent media outlets and with the support of the Young Democrats, led to a crisis in the network's structure.
ATV and its assets were sold off to R&M Consulting in 2000. To make matters even worse, another investor bought the entirety of ATV R&M in 2002.
New Golden Age[edit | edit source]
The first years of the new Intense Group were still troubling, nonetheless a solution had to be found to save the network from the crisis.
