Tolo TV ( Persian تلویزیون طلوع, lit. "Sunrise") is the name of an Afghan television station. The station broadcasts news and general entertainment programs nationwide. The owner is the Mohseni family. Saad Mohseni and his three siblings are all Australian entrepreneurs with roots in Afghanistan. Tolo TV was launched in October 2004 as the first commercial television station in Afghanistan and is now the leading Afghan private television channel.
This was recently confirmed by an independent study. According to this, Tolo TV has a market share of 45% in Afghanistan, followed by Ariana Television with 18%.
Tolo TV started in 2004 with some hardware support from USAID . No other form of support has been provided since then. Tolo TV has transferred the entire TV production to its sister company Kaboora, which provides the content for all channels within the channel family. The 24-hour news channel Tolonews, which was launched in July 2010, delivers all the news and political programs.
TV Tolo has now produced several internationally known formats. The sixth season of Afghan Star (similar to “ Deutschland sucht den Superstar ”) is currently being broadcast and has been generating an enormous response within the country since it began six years ago. Voting takes place exclusively via SMS. Since almost every second Afghan has a cell phone with a prepaid function, thousands of Afghans take part in the voting, according to the company.
In addition, TV Tolo has been producing the TV series Rāẓhāye Īn Ḫāna (راز های این خانه, lit. "Secrets of this House"). This is broadcast weekly and was the first and only series to be produced in Afghanistan. She received a special award at the 2009 Sundance Festival. In the meantime, Tolo has produced and broadcast other series such as Eagle 4 (an Afghan series about a police special unit, filmed in documentary style) and Beshte Khomush in Afghanistan. With the show Deal or No Deal , the first international game show format has found its way into Afghanistan.
With the worldwide exclusive broadcast of the concert of the Afghan pop star Farhad Darya in Mazar e-Sharif as part of the TV Tolo Eid program on November 17, 2010, an all-women concert was produced in Afghanistan for the first time. According to the organizers, 18,000 women and girls came to the pop concert and danced exuberantly in front of the gigantic concert stage that had flown in from Germany.
