Maeil Broadcasting Network, Inc. (MBN) (주식회사 매일방송) is a South Korean cable TV network operated by the Maeil Business Newspaper. The network was first founded in 1993 initially as a cable news channel before going into its current form as a generalist network in 2011.

On September 23, 1993, Maeil Business TV was founded. It launched the cable industry's first successful satellite transmission on December 6, 1994. On March 1, 1995, it began broadcasting 15 hours a day, and on January 1, 1996, it began broadcasting 24 hours a day.

On November 13, 2000, the network broadcast its first digital broadcast. Satellite TV channel providers were selected on June 4, 2001.

On September 27, 2001, the network signed a program supply agreement with Korea Digital Satellite Broadcasting (now KT SkyLife).

On April 30, 2002, American news channel CNBC made a contract with Maeil Business, and the network became the MBN-CNBC channel.

On July 1, 2005, MBN-CNBC dropped CNBC and changed its name to MBN.
