FARSI1 is a fully private, commercial venture that operates on advertising revenue.  

FARSI1 has advertising like most other commercial television stations around the world. However, to enhance your viewing experience, we have limited the quantity and length of advertising and segment breaks. In addition, we follow international guidelines when selecting the advertising that is aired on FARSI1.

Advertising allows businesses to provide useful information to viewers about their products and services, helping these companies increase their sales, which in turn helps employment and the economy.

 

FARSI1 is not available in North America.It does however reach most parts of Europe including the UK.
