Mission
Mr. Ehsan Bayat, the founder and CEO of Telephone Systems International (TSI), launched a private, non-partisan, television and radio station in Kabul in the summer of 2005: ARIANA Television Network (ATN) and ARIANA FM (FM 93.5). ATN provides original content that helps re-kindle Afghan traditions and culture, as well as English-language and international programming that offer ìa window for a better tomorrow,î bringing the world to all Afghans. ATN programming places particular emphasis on education, health, childrenís programming, and womenís and world issues.
Mr. Bayatís main objective in starting his media businesses (akin to his other projects in Afghanistan) is his desire to give something back to his home country, which suffered greatly in 25 years of war.
