There is actually a pretty decent black market for Western culture and South Korean culture.
PBS's frontline did a documentary on North Korea last year after Kim Jong Un took over and they showed hidden camera video of a guy selling DVDs hidden inside his coat on the street much like you would expect a drug dealer to do.
They also showed a video of a guy helping to smuggle in laptops and portable dvd players into North Korea and with those laptops he sent in USB sticks filled with movies and TV shows.
I agree that the ability to watch this stuff is probably out of the hands of most citizens, but there are many especially those in the main cities who can watch it.
But sending it by balloon is probably really inefficient. Most will get destroyed by soldiers and the ones that don't probably will take a long time to make it to someone's hands that can watch it if it all.
