Netflix's next rival unmasked as North Korea to air state TV across the world by autumn - complete with peppy military rallies, despot-devoted newsreaders and anti-West propaganda

North Korea is set to launch a new streaming service that will air Kim Jong Un's state television across the globe. 

Shiwani TV is expected to launch this autumn and will livestream Korean Central Television and its affiliated radio station, The Telegraph reported.

The platform will offer viewers access to the dictatorship's best soap operas, dramas, sitcoms and anti-West propaganda for just £16 per month.

At least 50 people have already requested to be notified when registration opens, a spokesperson revealed, noting the interested individuals are 'mainly' from the UK, US, Poland, Japan and South Korea.

Subscribers will be able to binge the state-run TV channel, which airs military parades, shows a steady stream of missiles and highlights reports from despot-devoted newsreaders.

Shiwani TV will not pay fees to North Korea or have any contractual agreements with the communist nation, the channel spokesperson added.

The new platform is understood to be the idea of Chollima Front, a small Polish organisation that claims to understand North Korea and its culture.

Chollima Front and its approximately 12 members want to 'make verified information about the country available in the public space', according to the newspaper.

In addition to newscasts that tout bad headlines about all nations that aren't North Korea, subscribers will have access to a variety of state-approved programmes.

One expected offering is Our Neighbours, a sitcom that takes place in a Pyongyang apartment and portrays a message that people loyal to the regime will be rewarded with a fashionable wardrobe and stylish household appliances.

Other offerings include soap operas detailing the tales of heroic soldiers and workers devoted to communist party. 

The channel will offer newscasts from anchor Ri Chun-Hee, who is known for her passionate and emotional commentary.

Sports fans will also be able to sample 'censored footage' from world-famous events, such as the Wimbledon championship, several months after they have taken place.

The North Korean embassy in Warsaw is reportedly 'supportive' of the plan to launch the service later this year. 

Shiwani TV will stream worldwide, including in the US and South Korea where it reportedly could 'breach national security laws' and 'be illegal to access'.

A channel spokesman alleged that the service 'operates within the laws of Poland, Canada and Germany' and also 'respects certain relevant North Korean laws'.

The Polish embassy in the US is aware of the forthcoming launch, according to Radio Free Asia, and has alerted the 'appropriate parties.'
