The channel also broadcasts news, own productions and sports documentaries in their programme schedule.

In 2012, the then President of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, in his article "Қазақстанның әлеуметтік жаңғыртылуы: Жалпыға ортақ Еңбек қоғамына қарай 20 қадам (Social modernization of Kazakhstan: 20 steps towards a universal labour society)" tasked the Agency for Sports and Physical Education and the Ministry of Culture and information to jointly open a specialized sports channel.

In a short period of time, relevant work was done, and on July 1 2013, the new tv channel "KAZSport" began broadcasting.

The opening ceremony for the new channel was held at Kazmedia Center in Astana.
