ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Kurdistan 24 Company for Media and Research on Monday announced it had launched a 24-hour live streaming service for its audience, making it the first media organization in the Kurdistan Region to launch such an initiative.

Kurdistan 24 will enter a new phase and extend its live streaming hours from 18 hours to 24, the media organization announced as it pledges to continue its “streaming of latest news and updates to its audience in Kurdistan and the World.”

As a “national media establishment,” Kurdistan 24 has covered key incidents since its launch on Oct. 31, 2015, with “impartiality, speed, and truthfulness” at the core of its works, the establishment noted.   

The Kurdistan 24 network delivers across a range of media channels including, television, radio, and the web, as it also broadcasts in both dialects of Kurdish: Sorani and Kurmanji.

Based on the principle of “social responsibility,” Kurdistan 24 fulfils its duty to the “homeland, society, and individual freedoms,” the media wrote in a statement, as it seeks to pioneer for a “new world of media, particularly in Kurdistan and the region generally,” the statement read.
