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.
