Shiokaze adds new segment to programming


Clandestine
5910, Shiokaze/Sea Breeze via Yamata,*1400-1430* (sign-on/sign-off), August 27 (Friday). English. Usual segments of "Today’s News Flash" and “Today’s News on North Korean ssues.” Station IDs as; “This is Shiokaze Sea Breeze from Tokyo, Japan.” Signal poorer than usual due to moderate jamming.

They have added a new segment at 1425 heard as, “this is a message from the Japanese government, the Japanese government will surely bring all the abductees back home.” The government will be broadcasting (every night ?) a program in Japanese and Korean on 900 kHz. This announcement followed by Shiokaze's normal canned sign off announcement. On Wednesday (25th) was in Korean, not the normal English programming.
