High-definition broadcasts of North Korean state television from a Russian satellite are currently inaccessible in South Korea due to a frequency conflict with local 5G networks, NK News has learned, causing headaches for DPRK watchers as Pyongyang further cuts the country off from the world.
Korean Central Television (KCTV) previously broadcast its high-def feed via the Chinese ChinaSat 12 satellite with wide coverage across the Asia-Pacific region, Europe and Africa, before suddenly switching to the Russian Express-103 satellite on July 1.
