Zarok TV is the first Kurdish language satellite television station in Turkey for Kurdish children, broadcasting since 21 March 2015, and it is based in Diyarbakır. The channel broadcasts programmes in Kurdish language, with two different Kurdish dialects:Kurmanji and Kirmanjki.[1] [2]

It was shut down under the emergency statutory decree issued in the aftermath of the July 15th failed coup d'état, alongside 11 other television and 11 radio stations, on 29 September 2016 when police raided the television station's headquarters in Diyarbakır.[3][4][5]
