NHK World Radio (Korean)

This is one of the quieter entries in Japan's listing, at 72 of 88. Stations at this depth are usually community, religious or single genre broadcasters rather than national networks, and the country's numbered pages are the only route to them.

The interesting fact about this entry is the pairing. Korean is not what Japan's dial mostly speaks, and the directory has two Korean stations registered in the country against a majority of Japanese.

Korean radio in this directory sits largely in South Korea, China and Canada, with 63 stations on the shelf in total. This page's station is one of the entries that make the shelf wider than any single country.

Nothing else in Japan's listing leads with education. The tag is self-declared, which makes it a statement of how the broadcaster positions itself rather than a classification anyone audited, and on this dial that statement is unique.

NHK World Radio (Korean) publishes an HLS stream. That is a modern and perfectly good way to broadcast, and it is also why the button on this page may not start it: HLS needs a player that can read a playlist and fetch segments, which a browser audio tag does not do on its own.
