Is this sentence correct?

On the 1st of January National Geographic Channel broadcasted a documentary concerning ‘chrystal meth’.

What made me doubt is the fact that 'broadcasted' and 'concerning' are in a different tense.

EDIT: I just noticed the sub-forum for english grammar. I should've posted this there, my apologies.

On January, 1st National Geographic Channel broadcast a documentary concerning ( chrystal meth "
It doesn"t matter here, because " concerning " is an unchanged state, general truth, it's always available, at the contrary , first brodcast has always the same orthograph in preterit, past participe, and present , and this verb concerns a state which can be change, the 1st, it was broadcast, the 2nd, it wasn't.

Hoping I've answered you ^^

Thank you very much for both correcting my sentence and answering my question.

Is 'on the 1st of January' incorrect or is what you typed better?
