MBC has announced that they're preparing to launch a new music-dedicated cable channel by the beginning of 2012. MBC Plus Media has already recruited some of the biggest music PDs in the industry, including a number of Mnet's main PDs.�Not only has Mnet's director Hong Soo Hyun jumped ship, but he's been joined by PD Park Chan Wook and Kim Hyun Joong, both of whom are known for their extensive work with music programs and festivals. MBC Plus Media will be changing over their MBC Game channel to run exclusive musical content and productions.�With the rising popularity of music programs like 'I Am a Singer', 'Immortal Song 2', 'Birth of a Great Star', and 'Superstar K', many are looking forward to seeing what MBC will be bringing to the table through a entire channel dedicated entirely to music. Considering the fact that Mnet has enjoyed the monopoly of music content on cable channels, the extra competition will surely boost the production and diversity of creative content.
