Zarok TV, the first Kurdish-language children's channel, will start broadcasting from the main Kurdish city Amed (Diyarbakır) after long preparations on March 21st, Newroz—Kurdish New Year. Zarok TV will broadcast in the Kurmanci, Kirmancki (also known as Zazaki) and Sorani dialects of Kurdish. In addition to being the first Kurdish children's channel, it will be the first channel in the world to broadcast in Kirmancki (Zazaki).

Zarok TV is a first in that it provides programs designed by experts for Kurdish children in their own native languages. The channel will answer an important need by providing families with an educational TV watching experience in their mother tongues, a new perspective among children's channels.

The channel will present series loved by children the world over—including The Smurfs, SpongeBob, SquarePants, Gumball, and Adventure Time—now dubbed for the first time in Kirmancki (Zazaki) and Kurmanci. The original program, Zarokistan (Children's Land) will acquaint children with the historical and cultural characteristics of their own region. On Dora Te (Your Turn), children's peers will teach them about topics from geography to history and philosophy. With the onscreen classroom environment of HunerênDestan (Art of Handicrafts), children can learn how to make a variety of crafts in their own homes.

The channel will provide programming in the Kirmancki (Zazaki) dialect of Kurdish, threatening to slide into oblivion. The original programs and dubbed versions of children's favorite cartoons will play a historic role in enlivening and developing this dialect.

The entertaining programs and visual productions aim to develop children's curiosity and provide them with a fun learning environment, a first for Kurdish children's TV.

Zarok TV Broadcasting Board said in a statement that the fundamental goal of the TV's broadcasting policy is to create a world of knowledge for children in their native languages and to provide families with a media environment that is reliable and that makes the most entertaining possible contributions to their children's development.
