Voice of Korea, the DPRK’s international shortwave broadcasting service, is on the air everyday in several languages. The English language broadcasts appear to be refreshed during the day (local time) for the evening broadcast and then repeated overnight.

The news is similar to the English-language stories from KCNA, but there are some differences. It’s generally a day behind the news being put out on the domestic service in Korean.

The English-language broadcast schedule for summer 2010 (period A10) is:
