Spärlicher allerdings geht es noch heute in Nordkorea zu. Dort gibt es nur einen landesweiten Fernsehsender, das Koreanische Zentrale Fernsehen. Das Programm ist recht übersichtlich und es gibt, so wie bei uns damals, noch einen echten Sendeschluss.

Im Folgenden der gewöhnliche Programmablauf an Werktagen (Korean Standard Time):

14:30 Testbild mit instrumentaler Musik (Orchester der Nationalen Volksarmee, Wangjaesan Light Music Band und Pochonbo Electronic Ensemble)

Irgendwer hat sich jetzt mal hingesetzt und irgendwo eine Stunde den Stream von Korean Central Television (KCTV) aufgezeichnet und auf YouTube geladen. So also geht es im nordkoreanischen Fernsehen zu. Wieder was gelernt.

„Browsing around on the net late at night yesterday, I found a link someone had posted to 4chan of a stream that could be added into VLC relaying back a seemingly hacked live feed of North Korean television. North Koreans only have working TV for 8 hours on the weekend (which, due to their strict 6 day workweek, is only one day) and 3 hours after 5PM on weekdays, other than that it gets completely shut off. I recorded about an hour of it to share. Enjoy!“

0:00 – Dance routine of women in uniform and combat boots, intersting in a 1940s-50s dance number movie sort of way

5:00 – Museum of something about westerners and spying equipment? The dangers of using commercial electronics, maybe using them to spy on you?

10:30 – Boy and mother being brainwashed by a (Catholic?) priest and then the priest kills the boy, obviously about how dangerous western religions are

18:30 – ode to the patriotic tractor? Ends in a reference to 1955

20:00 – Ebullient woman talking about making clothes, complete with lots of certificates of some sort commentary and scenes about making fabric and clothes.

29:30 – Rock mining. People drilling rocks, and rock being dumped as fill? I couldn’t tell if this was about the rock being used, or if it was about making a tunnel

35:00 – A bunch of images of people working, marching, doing things with a soundtrack of singing. Getting a little glazed eyed here. The Great Leader is shown directing some activities with great vigor.

37:45 – Something about the early earth and its creation, with comets raining down and life evolving, fossils. Cuts to animatronic dinosaurs in a museum. Ah, it is a museum on natural history.

48:00 – Two very young children playing a duet on the piano, they look to be 5-6.

51:00 – Child (8-10) dancing with a stick, somersaulting, spinning,

54:00 – Two very young children playing a duet on stringed instruments

56:30 – Young girl (8-10?) choir singing a song and playing harmonica, move over K-Pop, you’ve been replaced

58:30 – More very young kids, this time boys and girls, doing an outdoors dance and song routine
