Sending Out Signals to Long-Isolated North Koreans
Defectors Who Once Worked for Government of Kim Jong Il Now Broadcast
From South of the DMZ

.....
The North's estimated 23 million people have little accurate
information about the outside world. Listening to foreign news sources
is illegal, part of a government effort to block infiltration of
subversive ideas. But as more North Koreans buy low-cost radios
brought in from China, violating that ban has become easier.
.....

All told, Seoul has three privately run radio stations targeting the
North: Open Radio for North Korea, Radio Free Chosun and Kim's FNK,
the only one run by defectors, who are helped by a committed South
Korean staff. Washington-based Radio Free Asia and Voice of America
also broadcast to the North.
