How can they technically block 1 sattellite channel from the air?

I agree about the need for an western based independant kurdish tv.. perhaps it's an idea to begin with webstreaming over the internet and when there's enough funding it can grow into a sattellite channel. There's no political party who is going to sponsor it (perhaps only the referendum movement) so you need a lot of advertisements.
