Treet TV1

Treet TV1 is the television channel of Treet TV, the Mahri public broadcasting corporation, and was launched in 1965 as Treet TV2. For a brief period it was known and marketed as Mahri TV1; it has long been commonly called this. It is one of the most watched television networks in the country. The channel became a 24-hour service in 1995, although it now leases its graveyard slot (3:56am to 5:59am) to the infomercial producer and direct-response marketer). Until that point, Treet TV1 closed down with the public information films, national anthem, but this practice stopped not too long before infomercials filled the overnight slots.

Treet TV1 has a variety of programs, composed mainly of news and talk-shows, sports, current affairs, national and international fiction, such as films and TV series. Unlike sister channel Treet TV2 and 2k, Treet TV1 broadcasts commercial advertising, which, along with the licence fee, finances the channel.
