I guess pretty much from everywhere except from North Korea /s

Example URLs

• Single video: https://kcnawatch.org/kctv-archive/661fd5d2652fd/
• Livestream: https://kcnawatch.org/korea-central-tv-livestream/

Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

KCNA Watch aggregates North Korean's TV from different sources and archives them. The site offers archives under https://kcnawatch.org/kctv-archive/ and a livestream at https://kcnawatch.org/korea-central-tv-livestream/.
A sample video can be found at https://kcnawatch.org/kctv-archive/661fd5d2652fd/. Their new prominent song "Friendly Father" starts at 05:37:37.

While I understand that people find their propaganda controversial (which I agree) I think its very useful for people to be able to simply download the archives and use them for educational purposes.

Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

• Run your yt-dlp command with -vU flag added (yt-dlp -vU <your command line>)
• If using API, add 'verbose': True to YoutubeDL params instead
• Copy the WHOLE output (starting with [debug] Command-line config) and insert it below
