Mondo Times editors Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 10:42pm on Monday, June 29th, 2009 | The BBC World Service is battling satellite interference from inside Iran by increasing the number of satellites transmitting news to the region, the Guardian newspaper in London reported on June 19, 2009:
"The BBC World Service is attempting to combat continued broadcast interference from within Iran by increasing the number of satellites it uses to transmit its Persian television news service and extending the channel's hours.
Today the BBC World Service said it was raising the number of ways it transmits to Farsi-speakers in Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan after several days of persistent interference of the service from its usual satellite, Hotbird 6.
The World Service added that its satellite operator had confirmed the interference was coming from within Iran.
BBC Persian TV is now also available on the Eutelsat W2M satellite and the World Service expects it will also shortly be available on Nilesat. The service will continue uninterrupted on the Telstar 12 satellite."
