Payame Afghan : Payam-E-Afghan | پیام افغان

Payam-E-Afghan TV is a popular satellite television channel based in Los Angeles, California which also serves Afghan Americans and the greater Afghan diaspora of the world. The name "Payam-E-Afghan" is its brand, taken from the Persian word "payam" meaning "Afghan message" or "Message from Afghanistan."

Overview
Examples are the Payam-E-Afghan TV, which was launched in 2007 as an aid program initiated by the US government. It broadcasts a wide range of programs, from news to music and entertainment in Dari and Pashto. Backing the channel is Omar Khatab, who migrated to the US back in 1978 and earlier worked as a newscaster for Afghan state radio. From a simple radio station begun in the early 1990s, Khatab's radio broadcasts ranged from call-in talk shows to VOA news, music, and even cooking shows.

Historical Background
Payam-E-Afghan has a notable history of its association with Seddique Mateen, the father of Orlando Nightclub Shooter, Omar Mateen. His show was called "Durand Jirga," named for Afghanistan's Durand Line border, where he expressed anti-Pakistan sentiments.
