Voice of Korea International Shortwave Radio Service Website

Description

Voice of Korea is the DPRK's international shortwave radio service and the closest available official public destination for the station. The service identifies its programming as having started on March 16, 1947 and addresses audiences outside North Korea. The North Korea Tech profile describes the site as available in Korean, German, Russian, Chinese, English, Spanish, French, Arabic and Japanese. It also notes that the site mainly carries audio clips from programmes rather than a full streamed service. The destination is useful for station identification, programme monitoring and multilingual external-broadcast context. Editors should note that access to official DPRK-hosted pages can be intermittent.
