Watan TV
Watan TV is a commercial television network in Afghanistan, founded by Abdul Majid Maqori in Kabul in 2008.
Watan TV initially operated with test broadcasts, and its commercial operations officially began during 2009. A new television network was born under the brand name Watan TV, with the aim of reaching audiences across Afghanistan through television and media programming.
