Voice of Korea is the International Broadcasting service of North Korea . It broadcasts primarily Propaganda in Korean , Chinese , Spanish , English , French , Russian , Japanese , and Arabic . Until 2002 it was known as '''Radio Pyongyang'''. Voice of Korea broadcasts on HF or Shortwave Radio frequencies, including some lower frequencies receivable on common AM radios for broadcasts aimed at neighboring countries. Broadcasts are subject to frequent power cuts and scheduling can be unreliable. Voice of Korea's programs typically last 58 minutes, and describe the accomplishments of "Great Leader" Kim Jong-il , and the devotion of the North Korean people to him; as well as propaganda extolling former leader Kim Il-sung and other members of the Kim family, particularly Kim Jong-suk , Kim Jong-il's mother. The "news" segment generally relates only the activities of Kim Jong Il, mostly with a strong Anti-American bias, using terms such as "imperialist American aggressors". Prior to 2000 Radio Pyongyang also broadcast strongly anti- South Korea n propaganda, most often describing them as "puppets" of the U.S., but this was toned down after the meeting between Kim Jong-il and Kim Dae-jung . (See Sunshine Policy ) Broadcasts typically end with North Korean traditional or popular music, itself usually about the Kims. Voice of Korea's Japanese programming is produced by Chosen Soren .
