Programming edit

Kurd1 Channel gave space in its programming to news, cinema sport for the Kurds. Several agreements have already been made with 20th Century [2] Fox and Granada International to acquire broadcasting rights. Kurd1 also enjoys the support of Canal France International (CFI), of Mediatoon [3] International. Nevertheless, Kurd1 produces a substantial part of its programmes itself.[4]
