Persian Vision was a Canadian category 2 Persian language digital cable specialty channel. The channel was owned by PersianVision Media and Broadcast Corp. It presented local Canadian content and programs from around the world. Programming on Persian Vision included news, sports, entertainment and more. Foreign programming was primarily derived from Jaam e Jam International as well as other networks from Iran and abroad.
In addition to the television channel, Persian Vision also operated a 24 hour radio channel broadcasting on television and the Internet. However, Internet broadcasting ceased in early 2010 when its website was no longer available. Both the television and radio channels were available exclusively on Rogers Cable until January 2011 when it ceased operations. The television channel had been struggling to maintain its program logs with the governing body, Canadian Radio Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), and was hence closed down due to lack of adherence with CRTC regulations. The channel was directed and run almost entirely by Ms Sheena Mojgan Amiri.
Persian Vision had been previously dissolved due to non-compliance earlier in 2005 (https://www.ic.gc.ca/app/scr/cc/CorporationsCanada/fdrlCrpDtls.html?corpId=4013344). This issue was regarding a failure to file annual tax return (http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/cd-dgc.nsf/eng/cs02544.html)
Famous quotes containing the words persian and/or vision:
“If one doubts whether Grecian valor and patriotism are not a fiction of the poets, he may go to Athens and see still upon the walls of the temple of Minerva the circular marks made by the shields taken from the enemy in the Persian war, which were suspended there. We have not far to seek for living and unquestionable evidence. The very dust takes shape and confirms some story which we had read.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“One will meet, for example, the virtual assumption that what is relative to thought cannot be real. But why not, exactly? Red is relative to sight, but the fact that this or that is in that relation to vision that we call being red is not itself relative to sight; it is a real fact.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
