Television. The performance was broadcast  on the state television station Korean Central Television a week or so after the performance. The reason for this delay was most likely the fact that the concert was never carried live to TV, but, instead was edited from multiple recordings of the concert including the rehearsal and debut. Unlike the DVD version, the television broadcast was instead split into two distinct sections; separated by a question and answer segment with those who recollect memories of the history of the Party. This Q&A was hosted by narrator Kim Jong-il Prize Laureate People's Actress Paek Sung Ran (Korean: 김정일상계관인  인민배우 백승란) and was most likely held during the intermission period. Following this, the interviewees perform a song.
