Background and History
In the summer of 1966, the Plan and Budget Organization allocated a budget for the project, and the Ministry of Economics donated land. A temporary structure was built, and on October 26, 1966, National Iranian Television sent its first broadcast message, a statement by the Shah. Test programs were run, and complete programming commenced at Nowruz, the Iranian New Year, in March 1967. The first week’s programs included the broadcasting of the Shah’s birthday celebrations from Amjadieh Stadium. In June 1967, the Parliament approved a proposal for the economic and administrative independence of NITV, National Iranian Television, to be separated from the control of the PIT in terms of hardware, and from the Department of Publications and Broadcasting in terms of production and programming. In 1970, the Industrial Management Institute in Tehran was asked to plan a merger of NITV with the thirty-five-year old radio network, and to plan for the rapid expansion of broadcasting services throughout Iran by establishing new production and transmission centers. In 1971 National Iranian Radio and Television (NIRT) was incorporated as a public broadcasting monopoly run as an independent government corporation. The Shah appointed Ghotbi as the first director-general; neither of them thought he would also be the last. Sabet’s television was taken over in July 1969. Sabet had been nothing if not generous to the Shah. During the Shah’s brief |

NIRT International Radio Service
For 22 years the American Forces Radio and Television Service (AFRTS) broadcast a local radio service (Radio 1555) and a local TV service (Channel 7) to the capital of Iran from their studios in Tehran. However in 1976 it was decided by the Iranian government that AFRTS should close down its radio and TV services, which it did on 25 October 1976, the day before the Shah of Iran’s 57th birthday.Radio 1555 closed with presenter: Airforce Staff Sergeant Barry Cantor playing as the last record: Roger Whittaker’s ‘Durham Town’ (The Leaving). This was followed by a closing announcement by Chief Master Sergeant and Station Manager: Bob Woodruff, followed by the American National Anthem.The following morning, the 26th October 1976, the Shah’s birthday, this additional Iranian government owned radio and television service began under the control of NIRT Director General: R. Ghotbi.The service was initially called 'Tehran Radio' but quite quickly was changed to NIRT International Radio reflecting the fact that although it provided a local service to ex-patriates and Iranians alike in Tehran and its surroundings, it also broadcast throughout Iran, and to neighbouring countries.NIRT International Radio was broadcast on: 1555 kHz AM (Medium Wave) and 106 MHz FM (stereo) in Tehran.Earlier in the year, by way of adverts in international broadcasting magazines a number of (mostly British) broadcasters were brought together to help design the studios, produce and present programmes and provide a local, national and international news service.The new radio service had a self-operated studio, as used commonly throughout the West, however this was new to Iran and the presentation team advised the NIRT technicians in building the studio and adapting the mixing console to work in this way.The initial Presentation team comprised:Ted Anthony - previously from KLAC, Los Angeles;Frank Carpenter - from Radio Hallam, Sheffield, England, andMarc Paul (Burden) - freelance and syndicated radio – BBC and Australian radio.The team was later joined by:Mikel Hunter - previously from KGBS Los Angeles.[1]Claude "Hoot" Hooten (as Brad Edwards) - previously from KGBS Los Angeles.[2]The News Gathering and English Newsreading team comprised:Ray Goff - from England, previously broadcasting in Australia and New Zealand;Peter Body - previously broadcasting in Bermuda and Australia;Mike Russell - from Scotland, andJohn Coulson - from Metro Radio, Newcastle, England (later joined Presentation).Others on the news team were: Dave Emory, Vahe Potrousian, Rory Sutton and Sheila Mills.News was read in English by those listed above, and by specialist newsreaders in: Persian, French, German and Russian.At 5.30 that morning with all the ex-patriate presenters and newsmen in the studio, the opening announcement was read by American presenter: Ted Anthony. The opening announcement set out the philosophy of the station and is shown here in full: “Welcome to National Iranian Radio & Television’s International Programme. This is a very special moment for us, it’s our Inauguration Day. On the occasion of the birthday of his Imperial Majesty Shahanshah Aryamehr, we take great pleasure in announcing a new perspective in broadcasting in Iran. NIRT International is proud to present a brand new radio station here with a friendly live voice to keep you informed nearly around the clock, and an expansion of its television broadcasting on Channel 5, a channel all of our own.We hope this new programming will be a gateway of understanding between the foreign residents of Iran and our own citizens who are working hand in hand to build a society which blends the rational use of industry with the wisdom of tradition.We are very grateful to our friends with the American Forces Radio & Television Service who got the ball rolling in the first place by launching full time English language broadcasting in Iran. In taking over their audio and video channels we seek to preserve the best of what they offered and go on to bring in new ideas in programming for the wider community of our foreign guests. For example while our radio service will broadcast primarily in the international language of English, we will also provide newscasts in French, German and Russian replacing NIRT’s previous foreign language service.An important feature of our new service on radio and television is our ‘people to people’ policy. Our Public Relations staff headed by Miss Sheila Mills is at your service six days a week from nine in the morning till six in the evening to answer your calls. We would like to keep hearing from all the clubs and social activities which AFRTS supported as well as groups of every nationality: Japanese, Korean, Filipino, Indian, Pakistani, Turkish, Arabic, Slavic, Scandinavian and all should feel welcome to communicate through us to their communities, and to a wider audience of foreign listeners in Iran. Not only are we ready to take down messages for announcements but we are also eager to hear your comments, criticisms and proposals for programmes which would appeal to you and your fellow countrymen. Our telephone number here in Tehran is 221005 from nine to six every day. Once again: 221005.Another feature of our service will be the emphasis on increasing the live sound. On radio this means an informative announcer and disc jockey at all times keeping you up to date on the weather and late news flashes as well as providing regular time checks and helpful hints for getting along in Iran, and insights into the background of your host country.On TV there will be increasing live reception by satellite of important world events, beginning shortly with the American elections a week and a half away. You can tune in to us seven days a week on 1555 kHz, the Medium Wave band for radio, and Channel 5 on TV. By the way if you have an American set you may want to call us for information on converting your set to our 625 scan line.Our International Radio begins its broadcasting day at 5.30 in the morning five days a week, and at 7.00 in the morning Thursday and Friday, and signs off at thirty minutes past midnight. International TV is on the air from 2.30 every afternoon until the last film ends after midnight.It’ll be a pleasure to have you with us. Remember our number here in Tehran is: 221005 – and happy listening.“The first record played was country artist Charley Pride singing: ‘The Happiness of Having You’. The first news bulletin was read by Englishman Ray Goff at 6.00 am.Music and all other programmes were in English and presented live in a calm, friendly manner similar to the output from British and North American local stations at that time, with a mixture of pop, rock, ‘middle of the road’ soul and oldies music interspersed with syndicated programmes: The American Country Countdown, The Wolfman Jack Show, Jim Pewter etc.These services operated up until the Iranian Revolution in 1979, after which NIRT became the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting.. |
