History
editIn early February 2011, President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow announced the creation of the Aşgabat channel with the signing of a descree for its creation.[3] On 1 October 2011, the channel started broadcasting as the sixth television channel to open in Turkmenistan.[3]
In September 2012, the channel's director Orazdurdy Hojanazarow was reprimanded for "unsatisfactory development of official functions and deficiencies at work".[4]
