Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) has commenced the test broadcast of the over-the-air digital 'Documentary' free channel as the world moves toward switching from analog to digital.
"The Documentary Channel is currently being transmitted five hours a day between 7 p.m. and midnight local time (1530-2030 GMT) across the Iranian capital, Tehran," the Jaam-e-Jam newspaper quoted assistant director of IRIB TV4, Mohammad Zeinolabedini, as saying.
He added that the new channel, for the time being, relies on Iranian as well as foreign-made documentaries produced on the themes of culture, Iranology, nature, political developments, scientific advancements and social life.
Zeinolabedini underlined that a digital-to-analog converter box is required to watch 'Documentary' television broadcasts on analog TVs.
Thirteen TV stations now air regular programming on their analog signals across Tehran. Many view high definition digital display as the most significant advancement of television technology since color TV was introduced in the 1950s.
