Khurshid TV (تلویزیون خورشید) is an Afghan general entertainment television station based in Kabul.
The channel was launched in 2011.[1] The name of the channel is a Persian name meaning sun (see Khorshid).
Two Khurshid TV employees were wounded when their van was targeted by a bomb in Kabul in August 2019.[2] During the May 2020 Afghanistan attacks, a vehicle belonging to Khurshid TV was apparently the target in a roadside bomb in Kabul. A journalist at Khurshid TV was killed along with the driver.[3] The attack was widely condemned by Afghan journalists, the government and internationally.[4] In 2021, Pahjwok Afghan News reported that some Khurshid employees had not been paid by the station.[5] After the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, Khurshid TV went off air.[6]
The station's CEO was Mohammad Rafi Rafiq Sediqi. Sediqi died in November 2020 from suspected gas poisoning.[7]
