Specify the Iraqi Media Network service, such as Al Iraqiya Kurdish or the Turkmen channel, with the programme. IMN lists them separately from general, news and sport services. A country label or the word Kurdish alone does not identify the broadcaster, language variety or requested edition.
IMN has separate language-targeted services
IMN's channel directory separately describes its Kurdish and Turkmen services. The Turkmen description explicitly calls its spoken language Turkish, while the Kurdish service is identified for a Kurdish-speaking audience. Keep the publisher's service name and the household's own language requirement together rather than silently treating those terms as interchangeable.
Choose the programme and language
For a family following Kirkuk or the Kurdistan Region, add the locality and bulletin. Another Kurdish broadcaster is a separate request and should keep its own name. Arabic, Sorani, Kurmanji, Turkmen/Turkish or subtitles should be specified for the programme actually wanted. A translated IMN website does not establish alternate tracks on the general service. For public events, say whether live coverage or a complete recording is necessary; a news recap may contain only excerpts.
Place, date and viewing route
Asia/Baghdad is the directory reference. Retain the Iraqi original date and current viewing city if abroad. The public directory identifies services but does not confirm Hot IPTV carriage, a complete regional schedule or every sport/event right.
- Choose the exact IMN or other named broadcaster.
