KurdSat, a new Kurdish satellite channel started TV transmission on January 1 2000. KurdSat programmes are on Eutelsat W2 at 16 degrees east, 11489.2 MHz/horizontal polarisation daily from 2010 until 2310 gmt. KurdSat says it will follow an independent and liberal line in the news and dialogues it broadcasts, and it will aspire to absorb various views, adopt objectivity and affirm the values of civilised society without commitment to a specific political or ideological line. A Paris-based Turkish Kurd satellite television station, Medya TV, also broadcasts to the Kurdistan region. Its predecessor, Med TV, had its licence revoked by the ITC after complaints from Turkey that it incited violence in support of Turkish Kurd rebels.
