    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure propose an apparatus and method for supporting a service for one program through a channel change in a digital broadcasting system. To this end, a broadcast providing device may monitor whether a channel switching event occurs while providing a service for a first program on a first channel on the basis of a predetermined broadcast program schedule. When the channel switching event occurs, before the service for the first program on the first channel ends according to the predetermined broadcast program schedule, the broadcast providing device may transmit, to a broadcast consumer device, connection control information required to continue the service for the first program on a second channel. The broadcast consumer device may perform service switching on the basis of the connection control information.
