Streaming Voice of Korea radio from Pyongyang

Hi there,

I'm new to this forum, but have been interested in the weirdness of NK for a long time.

Can someone please tell me if there is a stream of the English language broadcasts of VOK? It seems like there are some recordings, but they're all quite old now.

I understand it's available on Thaicom satellite, so does someone out there have a nice rigging that can receive a nice clean digital broadcast and redistribute by streaming?

You're right, there is no streaming of the VOK online.

I googled, there's some recordings here:
http://northkoreanradio.com/

http://www.tudou.com/home/dprkradio (edit: toudou - recording links expired)

Search with quotes "voice of korea" on youtube, and you can find quite a few recorded excerpts there.

Or you could ask these chaps to set some VOK streaming up - http://www.korea-dpr.com/


Maybe someone with tech know-how will see this and be motivated to figure out a way to take the satellite feed and stream it online. Anyone??
Share the links here if anybody finds something.

Hi:

I'm new here. I also wish someone could put the Voice of Korea up on the Internet. I listen to VoK every night on short-wave radio, but have to put up with less-than-good reception, at times. It would be good if someone could take one of the short-wave broadcasts, and put them up upon the Internet.

I am also new to the forum and as the forum member from above suggested, it would be very nice if someone could put the Voice of Korea up on a website and share the link with the rest of us. Thanks!

Update:
This site talks about Voice Of Korea  http://www.northkoreatech.org/the-north-korean-website-list/voice-of-korea/
and has the VOK website address: http://www.vok.rep.kp/CBC/english.php
(the site wanted to use their media player, which my security software said was "unsafe". I didn't try further.)
 
So..
 
Other than that, no streaming Voice Of Korea is on the internet yet as far as I can find, but I have found a few other links,
including an apparent  LIVE STREAM from KCTV (North Korea TV)

Elufa:
 
http://www.elufa-tv.net/index.html  Has TV recordings from North Korea TV. Click around.
This link http://www.elufa-tv.net/live.html  from the site is an apparent LIVE STREAM  from North Korea Central Television - KCTV, although Elufa has advertisements occasionaly. ("premium members never see ads" )
It is an imbed from Ustream: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/elufa-tv
( If it is a live stream, you will see LIVE in the lower right of the  player .)

 KCTV weekday broadcast schedule is about 0800-1430GMT = 3:00am-9:30am eastern time USA
Weekend schedule 0000-1500GMT = Sat-Sun 7:00pm-10:00am eastern USA

SPTV:
 
Unification Broadcasting out of South Korea(SPTV) was streaming KCTV - Korean Central Television (North Korean TV).

http://www.northkoreatech.org/2012/03/21/pyongyang-news-website-offers-archived-tv-news/
 
But as of this writing they are not live streaming.
 
SPTV does post the latest KCTV broadcasts, and they archive past recordings from KCTV.
 
Main website: http://www.sptv.co.kr/
Note: Website is in Korean. A scroll list on the right has KCTV tv clips.
Here is a KCTV recordings list: http://www.sptv.co.kr/bbs/board.php?bo_table=01_02
click on one of those clips and many past recordings can be found by date from scroll list on the player page.

North Korea KCTV live stream
 
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.
You can currently find the feed here: http://112.170.78.145:50000/chosun Try clicking on it, but it’s best and easiest viewed in VLC Media Player. Choose “Open network stream,” paste that address in and it should appear if available.

I get VOK very well here in new york. Almost a perfect signal. Perhaps I could upload daily recordings?

Odd that a live stream of VOK has not been available somewhere on the internet, I have looked and cannot find one. You would think that someone could do it...

Yes, I know, that has been around for years. As far as I can tell, it isn't live streaming, but has 2 VOK recordings available, one three years old the other 4 years old.
I just checked again - there's a red button on the top right screen that says live, but it is playing the 3 year old recording. Every time I have gone to the site in the past, it plays the same recording.   I don't think it is a live stream. Please let me know if I am mistaken.
