Not sure what KBS World was showing for South Korea but the domestic KBS 1 cut to some live shots whilst Airirang showed the Seoul Tower.

Mubasher carried the full 7 minutes of fireworks from Lotte Tower

 

[hexah]

It was far too short on Arirang. The Pyeongchang mascots helped to ring the bell.

 

[hexah]

Any decent NK sources?

North Korean stream

[hexah]

Turn it up LOUD!!!

Arirang sure was in a hurry to return back to the news.
AJ Mubasher that previously has carried NK fireworks doesn't appear to do so this time due to a live event in Ramallah

Pyongyang. EuroNews didn't take it this time.

Al Jazeera Mubasher now showing Pyongyang

AJM now also carrying Pyongyang. They have outlasted the Aussies. I sure wonder about the authenticity - whether they aren't looping etc. If this is real, I don't want to know how many villages had to starve for this.

That said the air looks very thick as if someone had been shooting fireworks for a very very long time.

15 minutes of NK fireworks on the webstream

CTGN now live from Beijing whilst AJM has crossed to Hong Kong,so take your pick.

Long one:

That was an epic feed, a million times better than last years (iirc was not via IBM). The firework display also seems much better and the soundtrack excellent.

Big blue has a new free and open typeface IBM Plex GitHub - IBM/type: The package of IBM’s new typeface, IBM Plex, and accompanying typography code. which may be of intrest to some. If you search for how it came about, it is quite amusing, because it was the same poor management which led to Lenovo buying their PC division. It would be good for us the consumer if they were still selling hardware.

I liked the boats.

CGTN had a nice split screen with Beijing & Hong Kong

The accompanying Cantonese/Mandarin Version of Auld lang syne is quite funky!

 

[hexah]

It had to happen, the audio on CGTN sounded like it was coming from next door.
