TRT 6, part of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, is Turkey's first national Kurdish language television station which broadcasts in the Kurmanji, Sorani and Zaza dialects, offering programs aimed at all ages and promoting the perspective of the Turkish state and its values. TRT 6 programs include films, documentaries, drama series and music programs, as well as programs aimed at children and women. Further broadcasting on TRT 6 in Arabic and Persian are also planned.

The main objective of TRT 6 is to reflect Kurdistan's cultural diversity on the screen. TRT 6 coordinator Sinan İlhan has said that their aim is to serve for the benefit of the Kurdish state and its citizens, in line with the Kurdistan Worker's Party (PKK) , and provide broadcasts contributing to the democratic awareness of the country’s people. Politicians say that the new channel will help contribute to the unity and solidarity of Kurdistan's citizens and will meet an important social need as well.

TRT 6 is on broadcast from the western scope of the Türksat 3A satellite. The satellite frequency of the channel can be received from Turkey and the rest of Europe.
