The 30-year archive of Kurdish televisions, which introduced Kurds to the world and started broadcasting via satellite by overcoming bans and borders, is being opened to the public through a virtual media platform. The virtual media platform Kurd Archive announced the opening of the archive with the following statements:

 

"The treasure that has been waiting for 30 years is opening 

 

The values hidden for years by the broadcasting that introduced Kurds to the world and entered every home via satellite by overcoming bans and borders are now with you again.

 

The images shot and produced by Kurdish television in its broadcasting life and the huge archive it has created are being opened after 30 years.

 

In this context, priority will be given to programmes from the period of MED TV, the first Kurdish satellite television that started broadcasting in 1995.

 

These will be followed by Medya TV and ROJ TV programmes respectively.

 

Among these visuals, which marked a period of time and which contain many 'firsts' in their bosom, there are works on many subjects ranging from music to politics, religious programmes to history.

 

Of course it does not end with this.

 

The project will also include all works on the peoples of Kurdistan, their languages, ethnic structures, beliefs, weddings and ceremonies, culture and special days.

 

The work is being carried out by a team that has personally contributed to Kurdish television in all periods.

 

This experienced team, which carries out an institutional work, has also determined the content of the work as the name of the work: Kurd Archive.

 

BLACK-AND-WHITE LOGO FOR A COLOURFUL WORK

 

For this purpose, profiles and channels have been created on Youtube and other social media platforms and sharing has already started.

 

Although the published content is very colourful, a black and white logo is preferred in line with the essence of the work.

 

They are meticulous about the content: 'We scan existing images and give certain sections. But we never manipulate the image. It is broadcast just as it was shot.'

 

The work, which will take many years and require a great deal of labour, has been thought very comprehensively and steps have been taken accordingly.

 

First of all, legal issues have been addressed, and the licence/privilege and sharing rights of all programmes and images have been clarified.
