Four high-ranking officials will meet at the border truce village of Panmunjon at 6pm (10am Irish time), a spokeswoman for the presidential Blue House in Seoul.
The agreement over the dialogue came just hours before the North's ultimatum on the cross-border broadcasts expires at 5pm Pyongyang time.
The South side will be represented by Unification Minister Hong Young-Pyo and the head of the National Security Office Kim Kwan-Jin.
The North will send its military's top political official, Hwang Pyong-So, who is widely seen as leader Kim Jong-Un's number two, and Worker's Party Secretary Kim Yong-Gon, who is in charge of relations with the South.
