[1] On April 15, 1959, the Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation opened, creating a network system in the radio sector for the first time.
[2] In November 1959, it broadcast the first commercial jingle on Korean radio, for Jinro Soju, the lyrics of which were composed by the station's boss Heo Young-cheol.
The jingle became a success, especially among children, even though this raised concerns about potential underage alcohol consumption.

The station broadcast on VHF channel 12, with an output of 2 kW visual and 500W aural, as well as cameras supplied by British company Pye.
