This board hasn't seen much of me since Comcast discontinued its AZN venture; regrettably I haven't been able to get KOCH with any reliability since 2005. Also even if KOCH manages to get carried by Comcast we won't be able to see it because we got to the point of hating Comcast SO MUCH that we went to satellite even though Comcast was partially subsidized by our condo association.
An unanticipated benefit for us of our switch to Dish Network is that all packages above the bare bones contain KBS World. This means getting the KBS dramas a few weeks after they air in Korea and, it seems, generally earlier than KOCH gets them. We'd pick KOCH over KBS World if we had a choice, but since we don't, Dish Network has at least allowed us to get back into things.
Here are the dramas we are getting as of today. If I get more info on episode numbers I will add them:

Great King Sejong (rerun)
Tues-Sat 1:50-2:50 AM (that's Monday thru Friday night)
FIRST EPISODE airs 1:50 am Tues Sept. 15
(By the way they can be "flexible" about this slot which comes after some music shows - and furthermore I have discovered that some of the episodes of Sejong run really long! - so to avoid surprises, I am now taping from 1:40 am to 3:10 am)
Also we can't forget
Hwarang Fighter Maru (serial for kids)
Sat-Sun 10:40-11:40 AM (2 episodes per slot)
Episode # - not sure, maybe around 30 or 40?
This is cute, it is sort of like Power Rangers with the important difference that the "chosen superheroes" are younger and also often don't do any fighting during the whole episode but just deal with their feelings and such.
The Road Home - OVER
Slingshot - OVER
Accidental Couple - OVER
Summer Scent (rerun) - OVER
Immortal Yi Soon Shin (rerun) - OVER
Wedding (or "Wedded Bliss") - OVER
Partner - OVER
He Who Can't Marry - OVER
Possibly this may be useful,
