From Irad Wiki, the free encyclopedia

OneSport is the brand under which IradOne, the state broadcaster of the Irad Special Economic Zone (ISEZ), presents its sports programs. Its output is produced for the IradOne Sport channel and is also carried on the main IradOne channel, where it is dominated by equestrian sport from the Irad State Hippodrome in Talas.[1]

History

IradOne's sports bulletins date from 1994. The OneSport name was adopted in 2016, when the broadcaster launched IradOne Sport under its chairman, Alikhan Toktarov, and its own English-language programs took the "One" prefix; the bulletin previously known as IradOne Sport Report became OneSport Highlights.[3] IradOne holds exclusive rights to the President's Cup, the ulak league and the Irad League. Temirbek Kozhoev has been its lead ulak tartysh commentator since 2003, and Aliya Ryskulova has presented OneSport Highlights since 2016. Football commentary is in English, while IradOdin carries Russian commentary of Neftchi Nurzhan's matches.[1]

Reception

In the 2023 survey of the Irad Media Research Center the President's Cup final was the most-watched sports broadcast of the year, and the Kara-Ak derby is regularly the most-watched league broadcast.[4] Opposition figures and some clan leaders have described the award of broadcasting contracts by the National Equestrian Sports Directorate as patronage, and animal welfare groups, which criticize the Directorate's record on injuries to horses in ulak tartysh and long-distance racing, have objected to the prominence the broadcaster gives these sports. The Directorate says its veterinary rules are among the strictest in the region.[5]
