VOA expands TV broadcasts to Iran
Iranians will soon have more television news options. VOA’s Persian Service rolls out a dynamic new TV lineup starting Monday 16 January, with new programmes that deliver the day’s vital news, examine crucial social issues in Iran, and bring the audience the views of leading newsmakers.
VOA Executive Editor Steve Redisch says the informative and entertaining programme lineup will expand VOA Persian’s prime time footprint to six hours a day, from 6pm to 12 midnight Tehran time, focusing on the issues Iranians care about. “These shows build on VOA’s already successful programmes offering audiences information and viewpoints that are otherwise unavailable or kept from them.” Redisch says.
VOA’s Persian Service programmes are delivered on satellite, mobile and Internet platforms, including proxy servers designed to circumvent Iranian government efforts to block outside sources of news.
