Chekad TV

Chekad TV operates in a crowded Afghan news landscape, but it distinguishes itself with a scrappier, more local-first approach than the Kabul-based giants. The morning block leans heavily on provincial reports, think Herat, Balkh, Nangarhar, rather than studio chatter. That's both a strength and a weakness: you'll hear voices from places most cameras ignore, but production values are uneven. The evening flagship at 19:00 sharpens up, with a two-anchor format and tighter editorial pacing. They don't shy from op-ed segments, which can feel partisan depending on the host, but for pure news-gathering, the breaking coverage is faster than the competition. If you watch Chekad TV live, you'll notice the graphic package: it's low-budget but functional. The real draw is that the channel actually covers the provinces. For anyone tracking Afghan politics beyond the capital, Chekad offers a genuine alternative. To watch Chekad TV online is to see a newsroom punching above its weight. Not polished, but honest.
