2008 looked like pre2000
2015 looked like early 2000 😂

[@chickenoraria7559]

2022 looked like 2015.

[@user-ck5is2pg9y]

Thats some NK quality right there.

[@halfbakedproductions7887]

Honestly the modern HD feed looks good. Very crisp picture quality even though it's only 1080i. They apparently got second-hand HD equipment from China and the TV filmcrews are seen with modern looking Sony cameras.

[@halfbakedproductions7887]

They have still never fixed the flag being the wrong way round in the intro.

[@MMK_033]

Probably the most conservative TV-station EVER

[@dave4342]

North Korea is a conservative country so of course

[@user-gq8rw6hf9v]

The most conservative on earth

[@carlosmpsenyorcapitacollon6977]

​@@dave4342morally speaking yes, politically no.

[@ExtremelyTriggered-tl4nv]

@@carlosmpsenyorcapitacollon6977 I mean they’re pretty conservative politically, their version of communism has essentially become a fascist monarchist traditionalist Confucian state.

[@CrimCZE]

Turn to 140p for korean experimence

[@agustingomez1590]

I guess KCTV's startup looked the same since the very beginning. With a few differences, of course.

[@HikikomoriDev]

1:05 nothing more beautiful than seeing the flag in original worn VHS. Glorious.

[@andrewxyk99]

Analog is going to disappear. I hate this.

[@AlexanderAlp111]

​@@andrewxyk99Still a long time, some parts of the world depends on it, and they are still using whatever

[@japi2k9]

This is an audiovisual gem!

[@mikulitsi1819]

Yep much hasn't changed over the years

[@mistoffeleesly5336]

Here some nice moutain view and a nice statue you can watch
-some north korean

[@parasatc8183]

Mount Paektu, which is featured in all the startup clips, is an important symbol of Korea. It's mentioned in the national anthems of both North and South Korea.
The statue is the Chollima Statue, which is a depiction of the Chollima, a mythical horse in Korean mythology which is said to travel faster than any mortal being. It has been exploited by the North Korean government for propaganda purposes as a means to inspire Koreans to move swiftly towards progress.

[@20thCLS]

To be honest, you got it from me haha.

[@krazeetobi]

Actually, yes.

[@thegreatbadershow1810]

North Korea Kept 4:3 Ratio in 2015 even though everyone used widescreen 16:9 screens at that time

[@eyeofthepyramid2596]

But those who grew up at 90s this id actually bit nostalgic

[@BlackCrust]

Other countries look North Korean TV : Feel Nostalgic 😎
North Korean people look their TV : Well, fking booooring!!! 💀🙃

[@rolmaguiland21]

Vintage like ours, here to stay stuff😊

[@Charmeleon64letsplayer]

The audio for the 2008 one sounds a bit warbly.

[@CaLypSO4456]

Is the reason why it’s so glitchy because of the signal we get or is it just like that?

[@DashZick]

you drunk, tobi

[@mrpeel3239]

Show us more of the lady presenters, please!

[@vertz1515]

What’s the difference?

[@parasatc8183]

Advancements in camera technology and video editing only.

[@20thCLS]

It’s just from my video. With better editing and decent quality.

[@KoichiFirst8092]

The renditions of "Aegukka" are different, too.

[@carlosmpsenyorcapitacollon6977]

​@@20thCLSbtw there was a version from 1976 somewhere.

[@20thCLS]

@@carlosmpsenyorcapitacollon6977 that was a fake one unfortunately:(
