Some programs go way back to 1965 and 1967 but have undergone name changes throughout the years. Voice of National Salvation was known in 1967 as Radio Station of the South Korean Democratic National League for Liberation, as Voice of the Revolutionary Party for Reunification from 1970-1985 then Voice of National Salvation until its closure in 2003.
The cease-fire treaty that put the halt to the Korean armed engagements in the 1950's never officially ended the war. To this day the two Koreas have attacked each other through various psychological or physically harmless means; one is by radio propaganda. North and South Korea operate clandestine stations wherein both counties counter the broadcasts by jamming the signals or by legal matters. The effectiveness of these laws vary. It is reported that owning a shortwave radio is illegal in North Korea but there have been instances of smuggling them. Meanwhile South Koreans are prohibited from listening broadcasts coming from the 'Hermit Kingdom'.
