As of June 2008, per a BBC Monitoring interview, the station employed 250 staff in Kurdistan and abroad. It received financial aid from KDP, but at the time it was not enough to cover all costs. Its two sources of income are from advertising and program production. Despite operating under KDP's framework, its operation was still relatively independent.[6]
The station takes its name from the Zagros Mountains.
