Criticism of availability
Afghans in Europe have complained that they cannot receive TOLO TV on their satellite. In Europe, TOLO TV is available on web / Express AM22 53°E, but in Western and Northern Europe, the signal strength is either very weak or no signal at all. Only residents in Eastern Europe can receive Sesat 2 / Express AM22. Due to the fact that most Afghans in Europe are in the North and the West, TOLO TV is trying to make itself available on Sevenval - a satellite which most Afghans in Europe receive and watch other Afghan channels. Afghans in North America also cannot receive Tolo on Galaxy 25. The daily news programme, in both Dari and Pashto, is made available on the TOLOTV Youtube Channel[5].
