KBS

A Korean public broadcasting station which sponsors the KBS Cup and has occasional Baduk programming.

KBS has a number of recent, excellent videos on demand of fast games being played by Korean pros. These are reviewed during the game by professionals No Yeong-ha and Han hae-weon. You can find them at http://www.kbs.co.kr/1tv/sisa/baduk/vod/index.html.

The site requires registration, but it is free and not too painful for a non-Korean speaker. Once you click on a video, you will be prompted to log in. You can click on the button in the lower left to register, but this will just navigate to the following page, which has a button labelled in English where you can register as a foreigner: https://sso.kbs.co.kr/Join/Join.asp, so it might be easiest to just go to that page directly first. If you do this you will be sent an e-mail in English.

If you find it hard to follow the review in Korean, you can still enjoy watching famous players make faces during difficult positions.

There are other things you can watch on KBS as well.

Some info I found that helps me understand this fabulous show
