LEMAR takes its name from the Pashto word for sun. Launched in 2006, its mandate is to provide in depth coverage of Pashto, Dari, Urdu and English news. Each bulletin spans local, international, finance, sports and weather news.

The LEMAR Newshour every day at 7pm is widely respected for its apolitical, indpeth analysis, attracting large information hungry audiences in Afghanistan as well as neighbouring Pashto speaking areas of Pakistan.

Current affairs programming on LEMAR includes Kaglechoona, a hard hitting, investigative style program which delves into criminal cases around the country.  Kaglechoona enlightens viewers on Afghanistan's legal process and recurring issues faced by the wider population. Lifestyle and entertainment programming includes India's number 2 serial, Kahaani Gar Gar Khi, dubbed in to Pashto - the only Pashto dubbed daily serial in Afghanistan.

LEMAR is available free to air in Afghanistan and regionally via satellite.

Key LEMAR advertisers include Roshan, Utelsat, Cristal, Sandi Real Estate, Red Crescent and 456.
