South and North Korea have completely halted propaganda broadcasts that have gone on for 42 years along their shared border.

South Korea's "Sound of Freedom" went off the air for good at midnight Monday after a 15-minute farewell broadcast that capped its decades-long service along the 248-kilometer land border. The North also stopped propaganda broadcasts on its own side of the border at the same time.

The move was in accordance with recent agreements aimed at easing military tensions between the two Koreas.
