Terrestrial out-of-region simulcast refers to the real-time transmission of terrestrial broadcasts from a specific regional area to another region outside the licensed area.
OBS's broadcast area is Gyeonggi and Incheon. In principle, only residents of the Gyeonggi and Incheon areas can watch OBS.
However, if an IPTV operator receives approval from the Broadcasting and Media Communications Commission for out-of-region simulcast, it can provide OBS nationwide in real time. As a result, OBS can also be watched live in Seoul and Busan.
With the extension of the out-of-region simulcast approval, KT (Genie TV) IPTV subscribers and LG U+ (U+tv) IPTV subscribers will be able to watch OBS broadcasts for the next 4 years regardless of where they live.
