[Asia Economy Reporter Joo Sang-don] The National Oceanographic Research Institute of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries announced on the 3rd that it will integrate and revamp the marine forecast internet broadcast 'Onbada' starting from the 4th.


Previously, Onbada individually broadcast various marine forecasts such as 'See Sea TV', 'Tomorrow's Sea Information', and 'Weekly Navigation Information', but going forward, broadcasts like Tomorrow's Sea Information and Weekly Navigation Information will be integrated into the See Sea TV broadcast and aired all at once. Additionally, the broadcast frequency will be expanded from three times a week to five times a week (weekdays).


The newly revamped See Sea TV will introduce real-time sea weather conditions such as sea fog and waves based on CCTV observation data installed at various coastal areas. Information on tidal levels and currents will also be newly introduced, making it a more substantial and informative comprehensive marine forecast broadcast.


The Oceanographic Research Institute plans to conduct a preference survey on 'Onbada' content around mid-May to gather viewers' opinions and continuously improve the content based on the feedback.


Kim Jun-sik, head of the Marine Forecast Division at the Oceanographic Research Institute, said, "We expect that the integrated revamp of Onbada will resolve the inconvenience viewers had in having to watch marine forecast broadcasts separately, and we will continue to strive to make Onbada a marine-specialized broadcast that is essential to the public."



See Sea TV will be broadcast every Monday to Friday at 8 a.m. on Onbada and the YouTube channel 'Onbada Marine Broadcast'.
