Congress believes the U.S. should broadcast more news into North Korea, aiming for 12 hours a day, and fund nongovernmental groups that involve North Korean defectors in their programming. The Broadcasting Board of Governors had to report to Congress within 120 days on current broadcasting and a plan to expand it.

(a) Congress's view. Congress believes the United States should (1) spread more information inside North Korea by increasing news broadcasting there — with the Broadcasting Board of Governors expanding broadcasts, including by Radio Free Asia and Voice of America, toward a goal of 12 hours of broadcasting a day — and (2) expand funding for nongovernmental broadcasting efforts, especially those that involve North Korean defectors in making the programming. (b) Report. Within 120 days after October 18, 2004, the Broadcasting Board of Governors had to report to the appropriate congressional committees on (1) the current state of U.S. broadcasting to North Korea, and (2) a plan for reaching 12 hours a day of broadcasting, including the technical and budget needs for carrying it out.
