Manoto1 is an international free-to-air Persian-languagegeneral entertainment channel launched in October 2010 that is owned by Marjan TV corporation, which is established by Kayvan and Marjan Abbassi with Rupert Murdoch's Financial support[citation needed], It is based in London and its programs include documentaries, films, series, news and reports.[1][2]
Manoto's viewership rates are difficult to determine; however, anecdotal reports about the channel's ubiquitous popularity suggests that it has gained rapidly in market share to rival more established satellite channels like BBC Persian and VOA Persian TV. According to a BBC report in 2008, these channels may be watched by at least 30 percent of households inside Iran.[3]
Manoto1 is partly funded by corporate sponsorships and has been sponsored in the past by companies that sell consumer products inside Iran, including Samsung and LG, according to Marjan TV's website and Clarus Design's Meddin. Manoto's funding also comes from venture capitalists, according to a 2011 report on human rights and information access in Iran by the Foreign Policy Centre, a UK-based independent think tank. The report did not name the venture capital firms behind the station.[4] However, many Iranian analysts believes that the channel is promoting Iran's ousted monarchy purposefully.
words will not be able to explain the Greatness of this Channel, the documentaries exploring UFOs, Nazis, old Civilizations and their extraordinary technologies, its awesome. they are life-changing documentaries. I just go to other world while watching them, I wish to thank the founders of this channel personally. the only problem which i have to confess is that "The most important documentaries" have got deleted from the website as well as youtube, and although i did a lot of hard work but I couldnt find them anymore. one of them was about "third reich and UFOs or aliens".in case you have them I will be so grateful if you share with me. thanks
