Hi hailstorm,
I'm posting this information as a comment instead of an answer because
the data is not confirmed.  I hope it's helpful:
Korean Central Television Broadcasting (KCTV)
Satellite Orbit position: 78.5° Eastern Longitude (THAICOM-3)
Downlink Frequency 3,424.5 MHz (Horizontal partiality)
Signal Mode: Digital transmission
Symbol Rate: 3367 Khz
Directional Angle 281 degree
FEC: 3/4 
Surface to satellite 56 degree
Time (GMT) 06.00 -14.00

It appears that the Thaicom satellite covers Japan, so if you have
access to a satellite receiver, you might want to try those
coordinates.

Here's another link that provides a picture from one of their
broadcasts: http://www.apsattv.com/satellites/thaicom3.html

The satellite mentioned in the previous two comments seems to be the
only one with KCTV:

The free-to-air TV-channels from South Korea are mentioned on the
following page:

Thank you all for your information.  Unfortunately, it doesn't help me
in particular to gain the ability to watch that wacky programming as I
am without access to a sattelite dish (I suppose it was too much to
expect to find some cable company carrying it...)
