National persian Radio and Television, or NIRT for short, was the first persian state broadcaster, which was established on June 19, 1971, following the merger of the country’s radio and television services. National Radio and Television refers to state-owned or publicly funded broadcasting organizations that provide radio and television services to a country’s population.
These institutions often serve as the primary source of news, cultural programming, and entertainment for citizens, particularly in countries where private broadcasting is limited or where the government seeks to maintain a central role in media communication. In the 1920s and 1930s, radio broadcasting emerged as a powerful tool for communication, connecting people across large distances. Governments recognized its potential for education, cultural promotion, and political messaging.
