The directory states no bitrate for this stream, so there is nothing to draw here. The field is filled from what a stream's own server announces when it is scanned, and plenty of servers announce nothing.
KCBS 조선중앙방송 sits third among the 8 stations in North Korea with pages here, close enough to the head of the list that most people browsing the country reach it early.
The information corner of North Korea's dial is two stations deep in this snapshot. Small clusters like that are usually the most rewarding thing on a country page, because they are what the national broadcasters at the top of the list are not.
Across every country, KCBS 조선중앙방송 is 16 of the 74 stations leading with information, by the same open count the country list uses.
The directory carries no bitrate for KCBS 조선중앙방송. The field is filled from what the stream's own server reports when it is scanned, so an empty one usually means a server that answers without announcing itself rather than a bad stream. North Korea's stations that do report come in at a median of 128 kbps, for whatever that is worth as a guess.
KCBS 조선중앙방송 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.
Its audio comes from stream.intchoson.com. One other station in North Korea streams from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.

KCBS 조선중앙방송 is one of 5 playable stations the catalogue lists in North Korea, and one of the smaller number that say where in the country they transmit from.
These are counts of what people did inside the public radio-browser catalogue and the apps that read it, over the whole life of the entry. They are not our own figures and they are not an audience measurement: most entries in this catalogue sit under five all-time plays, so a small number here means the catalogue has little to say about this station rather than that nobody listens to it.
Broadcast by KCBS 조선중앙방송. Stream served directly by the broadcaster.
Station details come from the public radio-browser directory and are reproduced as recorded there. If you run this station and something here is wrong, or you would rather the page did not exist, write to us from the support page and we will fix or remove it.
