ANAAR TV () was a Kabul-based commercial broadcaster inaugurated on 31 May 2015. It stood out as one of Afghanistan's pioneering digital terrestrial television (DTTV) channels, initially concentrating on technology-related programming before transforming into the country's first entertainment channel broadcasting in English. The station was owned by Noorwali Totakhil and Baryalay Paikan Noori. ANAAR TV transmitted through Oqaab DTTV on channel 29 and broadened its coverage via Yahsat starting in January 2016.
The programming lineup included well-known English television series accompanied by Dari and Pashto subtitles, catering to a specific audience within Afghanistan. Despite its distinct market approach, ANAAR TV encountered security issues stemming from extremist threats. In light of the assault on Shamshad TV in November 2017, the channel ceased operations suddenly on 10 November 2017 to ensure the safety of its staff and assets.
