Persian Satellite TV is suffering. There are now only 2 Iranian-American run politically anti-Islamic Republic satellite tv stations that beam into in Iran. All the others beam either music or educational programs. Our government failed to send funding to pro-American, pro-Democracy stations in California, but why? Pro-American stations that beam into Iran have been shut down due to lack of funding, but a new pro-Islamic Republic station funded by the Iranian government has opened and virtually all the stations have become apolitical.
