This is a raw feed of live North Korean TV so there are no subtitles. It just started a few minutes ago and I have no idea what to expect tonight but I wouldn't get my hopes up. Newsreaders, voice-overs, and other blathering likely.

Watched people praising Kim, then there's a song where they are thanking the Father-Marshal (a-bo-ji chang-gun). Now more songs glorifying the cocksucker. My Korean is pretty rusty so I don't catch all the details. Nevertheless, thanks!
Just saw some NK tanks moving and shooting, and NK infantry running up a hill. In real life, they'd be blown to shit by the ROKs and our guys. Fuck 'em.

Now there's a show depicting gifts given to that cocksucker. Thank God we don't have to watch this shit all day long, unlike the poor Norks.

I feel sorry for the poor bastards in ROK intelligence who have been tasked to watch this shit. They must have to switch off every hour. Can you imagine watching this at 3 a.m.?
North Korea's main television propaganda mouthpiece is currently available over the Internet. The live stream of Korean Central Television appears to be originate from a South Korean web site - something that puts the site operator in potential violation of South Korea's National Security Law.
Korean Central Television broadcasts nationwide to North Korea and is relayed over the Thaicom 5 satellite to most of Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Its terrestrial signal can also be received in some areas along the country's northern border with China and Russia, but its signal south of the border is disrupted by South Korean government jamming and local digital TV signals.
The deliberate interference to the signal parallels the jamming that keeps North Korean radio off South Korean radio dials and Pyongyang-linked web sites from the screens of South Korean Internet users.
The country's National Security Law, which is getting some international attention at present, has seen citizens arrested for posting or forwarding North Korean news articles and writings so the online KCTV feed is a surprise.
It's apparently the work of Seoul-based Unification Broadcasting ( http://sptv.co.kr/ ) and, according to various postings in Internet discussion boards, has been sporadically available for several months.
For most of the day - when the stream is available - it relays standard color bars but these switch to the KCTV testcard at around 16:30 Pyongyang time. The testcard is on air until 17:00 when programming begins. For most of the time it is accompanied by a soundtrack of North Korean music but this fades at one minute before the hour. The TV station plays the same sign-on signal that is shared with domestic radio and Voice of Korea shortwave broadcasts. At 17:00 the national anthem plays and programming begins.
