Television in North Korea is split between 4 primary TV channels - whilst you may have heard of Korean Central Television, the other three; Mansudae TV, Ryongnamsan TV, and Sports TV remain a mystery to many, along with how TV and media have developed in the DPRK from the 1960s to today!

on analog TV, China and North Korea both used PAL-D/K (6.5 MHz sound carrier, 4.43 MHz video subcarrier in 625 lines), China uses it’s own DTV frequency and DTMB Digital TV, and North Korea uses Eastern European analog TV frequency and DVB-T2 (same as Russia but SECAM-D/K for analog TV). South Korea and Taiwan uses NTSC-M (525 lines, 3.579 MHz video subcarrier and 4.5 MHz sound carrier); bith countries used American NTSC-M frequency: Taiwan uses DVB-T (6 MHz Pan American DTV frequency) and South Korea uses ATSC 1.0 and ATSC 3.0 for South Korean DTV.

One thing that's interesting from a linguistic point of view is that the famous Pink Hanbok Lady who does/did those announcements, talks in a very emphatic, quavering sort of voice. And I have heard DPRK people being interviewed using exactly that same quavering style. If it carried on long enough, the North Korean dialect would start to diverge from South Korean dialect. TV shows do alter national accents, if they are popular enough, and NK's isolation would be a hotbed for linguistic divergence. If it was just the Pink Lady, it wouldn't be a thing at all - it is the fact that it seems to be a set way of speaking in public for *everybody* that is interesting.

@lizzymarie4095 Год назад

Cherie (not sure how to spell it) a defector here on RU-vid speaks about the difficulties of the North Korean dialect and the struggles it causes for defectors who land in South Korea. I think she has a video talking about how the language is so different now that they are actually given Korean classes once they are decided to stay in the country. It makes it harder for integration, camouflaging in the community and even being able to be understood at times.

@mrttripz3236 Год назад

The news broadcasting voice is really not accurate to how North Koreans actually speak. Their dialect IS different for sure but its not quite as dramatic

@rahmspinat Год назад

Yes, it's such an impressively disgusting voice!!

@JohnSmith-nj9qo Год назад

I'd hesitate to go that far. Back in the mid 20th century in the US news broadcasters would often speak in what was commonly referred to as the Mid Atlantic dialect to make themselves sound more professional and refined, but your average American would never speak using that dialect. However with that being said after almost 70 years of isolation North Korean is already starting to become it's own language. When they defect to South Korea it's difficult for them to communicate with other people even though they both are technically speaking the same language.

I'm a Korean speaking American and you pronounced 조선 중앙 텔리비죤 perfectly. Do you speak Korean?? The dialects are so different and will continue to become more different as time goes on. North Korea eliminated a lot of Sino Korean words and replaced them with new pure Korean words. They also consider Hangul to have 40 letter (I actually agree) rather than officially in South Korea having 24. Also they use archaic styles and conjugations like 했소 instead of just 했어 They use weird conjugations that I've never once seen in regular 표준어 Korean. Also they don't simplify 리을 and 니은 hanja into 이응. They still use 리 as a surr name. Still use 력사 instead of 역사 and 녀자 instead of 여자

Having grown up in West Germany, I can relate to some of the differences myself between the former East and West Germany, but between us it's more subtle because it just concerned grammar. Oddly enough, in other German speaking nations like Austria and Switzerland, it's more aligned with the former West Germany in terms of language.

@@bundesautobahn7 I disagree. There never was a distinct east or west German dialect. Dialects in Germany are varied and the east/west border criss crossed all over them, leaving some regional dialects split between both sides. They remain the same today. There is no grammar feature that developped separately during the cold war era. There were some vocabulary differences between east and west in the areas of politics, ideology, modern inventions and youth slang that were caused by the different ideological affiliations and therefore change exactly where the border used to be, but most of them have waned since reunification. Writing from the Berlin area where the dialect in East Berlin, West Berlin, and suburbs located in former East Germany is and has always been exactly the same.

@@xaverlustig3581 I mean, in the eastern states, taking as example the word "anschalten", they say "angeschalten" while we in the western states (I'm from Hamburg) say "angeschaltet".

Its interesting the inflection the newscasters use. Most newscasters in the modern world, regardless of language, use a certain cadence and inflection that sounds factual without being overly emotive or inflected. The way the DPRK newscaster speaks reminds me of a Korean version of the way newscasters here spoke 75 years ago. Compare that with a South Korean broadcast, the newscaster there is using the modern style cadence and inflection common in most countries in the world.

In 1989 in socialist Romania we had only one television station that broadcast three hours a day between 19:00 and 22:00 on weekdays and about 5 hours a day on Saturdays and Sundays between 13:00-15:00 and 19:00 - 22:00. Most of the broadcasts were dedicated to the Ceausescu family and people were looking to receive TV stations from neighboring countries. I lived in the south of the country and had access to Bulgarian television, which was less indoctrinated, and I could see Western movies sometimes, football matches and cartoons that Romanian television hardly broadcasts at all.

I love this channel, it helps me understand the DPRK better, and as a person who's favorite country is the DPRK just because of how interesting it is, this channel is very helpful, and this video is also very helpful, since I've watched the KCTV broadcast for a year now, and I knew about the other channels, but I never knew they had their own broadcasting service, such progress for the DPRK! Anyway, great video, can't wait to see more!

Looks better than the crap we get on Freeview in UK.

it must be so difficult to archive media there due to its climate. I feel like the streaming box was also approved to get analog media online & delay the process of it becoming lost

I like the traditional clothing worn in north korea. South korea is not good. Too Americanized. South Korea is oppressive too. Workers are treated poorly. The US needs to leave Korea and close the military bases.

Was actually quite interesting. You seldom see such in-depth-details of the normal life or workings of North Korea.

Very interesting!

Could you do some research about North-Korean agriculture? I was wondering if they still practice Korean Nature Farming on a large scale, and other things, like how it has changed over time, because the FAO is not a clear source.
