The channel broadcasts from 07:00 to 23:30 (on average) and transmits all editions of Watan Habarlary along with Altyn Asyr and Ýaşlyk.
Almost all Miras programs are of its own production. These include news programs related to the cultural life of the country and abroad, discussion programs, and broadcasts from concert and theater venues.
Miras relays two hours (16:00 to 18:00)[3] of pre-recorded programming from Russia's Channel One (still referred to as "ORT" in schedules).[3] Before giving permission to broadcast them, the management of the Miras TV channel, together with curators from the Ministry of National Security, carefully studies the content of the programs broadcast from Moscow.[4] The Field of Wonders is one of the programs carried.[5]
