The sports channel will broadcast its programs round the clock while the animation channel will be on air from 8 am to 12 pm.

Mr Zarghami said the sports channel covers programs for the general public, especially women as well as special programs including broadcasting news reports and competitions in sports disciplines which receive limited coverage in other channels.
