Iran to launch sports channel

Iran's Physical Education Organization (PEO) is in talks with the country's state broadcaster to launch a sports channel.

PEO head Ali Saeidlou said that once the organization reaches an agreement with the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), efforts would begin to launch the sports channel.

He made the remarks in a Tuesday meeting with the managers and players of Iran's national futsal team.

Saeidlou said the opening of the channel, which is scheduled to air sports matches and sports-related programs round-the-clock, is expected to initially cost about $100 million.
