Iran launches Hispan TV for Hispanic audiences
Iran launched on Tuesday its latest foreign-language news channel, Hispan TV. The channel is a 24-hour satellite broadcaster aimed at Spanish speakers worldwide. The state-funded channel, HispanTV, has already been test-broadcasting since mid-November from its offices in Tehran, using a staff of Iranian, Spanish and Latin American journalists. HispanTV's website said it aims "to reach millions of people in Latin America, the United States and Europe." It pledged "transparency" as it sought to present "the cultural reality of Iran, the Middle East and Latin America." It joins another Iranian channel, Press TV, which broadcasts in English but whose London operations lost their British licence in January on the grounds they were being controlled editorially from Tehran. Iran also finances an Arabic channel, Al-Alam, and three other outlets that part of the time offer programmes in Turkish, French and Urdu. The new Spanish channel is to offer news, films, documentaries and series, Iranian state television said. (Portada)
