On Saturday, October 17, 2026, as part of their ongoing scientific and field trip to Duhok, the Department of Media at Cihan University-Erbil organized a field visit to WAAR TV Channel for second- and third-year students. The visit was supervised by Assistant Lecturer Ahmed Jamal Hama Karim.
Upon arrival, the supervising lecturer and students were warmly received by Mr. Yousif Ahmed, Director of WAAR TV Channel. He expressed his pleasure at receiving the delegation and highlighted the channel’s identity and standing as a pioneering cultural television network in Kurdistan. He also emphasized its commitment to cultural affairs and social coexistence, noting that WAAR TV was the first media organization to establish its headquarters and main office in Duhok.
During the visit, Mr. Ahmed introduced the students to the institution’s publishing division. He explained that, as part of its cultural and social responsibilities, the division provides financial assistance and support to authors and writers who face financial difficulties in publishing their works.
The students then toured several sections of the building, including the transmission room, editing department, and social media department. In the institution’s large, modern production studios, they learned about the various stages involved in producing television programs, films, and dramatic works. They also gained practical insights into the operation of modern audio equipment, advanced lighting systems, and professional film and television cameras. In addition, they learned about directing techniques and the coordination of technical crews during major production shoots.
In conclusion, on behalf of the Head of the Department of Media, the activity supervisor, Assistant Lecturer Ahmed Jamal Hama Karim, expressed his gratitude to Mr. Yousif Ahmed and the entire WAAR TV team for their warm reception and for providing students with a valuable academic opportunity to explore modern television production techniques and practices.
