HispanTV

HispanTV is an Iranian Spanish-language news channel operated by Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, Iran's state-controlled broadcaster. It began broadcasting in December 2011. HispanTV's programming has been distributed in Venezuela, Spain, Argentina, Cuba and other countries worldwide. The channel is similar to Press TV, an English language news channel and Al-Alam, an Arabic satellite TV station also owned by the Iranian state. HispanTV has foreign journalists from Argentina, Chile, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Russia, Spain, and Venezuela. It also has journalists from Iran who speak Spanish. The stated goal of HispanTV is to offer an opportunity for cultural exchange through television and web broadcasts between Latin-American citizens of Iranian descent, Hispanics of the United States, Muslim minorities of the Hispanophone world, and Spanish-speaking foreign residents in Iran.
