Information Technology Channel

Information Technology Channel (ITC) is a 24-hour Persian educational TV channel based out of California. Its primary purpose is to teach computer skills to Persian-speaking viewers.

Start

ITC was established in 2004 by Khosrow Motarjemi Persian (Iranian) IT professionals based in California.

Programs

ITC's programs include lessons on Microsoft products, IT news/tech talk, E-commerce, and IT books review.

Reactions

The programs have been warmly received by Persians (Iranians) and some of ITC's fans have created weblogs to support this channel.

Official Permission

ITC is currently trying to get permission from Iran's government to open an office in Tehran. ITC's programs are educational and non-political, but the Iranian government is generally strict with US-based Persian channels. Some of these channels had a big role in recent pro-democracy demonstrations in the capital city of Tehran.

Location

ITC's main office is located in Woodland Hills, California, near Los Angeles, which it claims is the city with the largest Persian community outside of Persia (Iran).
