I'm not very confident of the source 
but that's a disappointment if true. Many have Internet access, few have a dish pointed at 97W, so it would also seem pretty ineffective and at the same time silly.

I was right, (Just sayin')

Time to close the thread, as it's blatantly politically fueled from this point on.

Completely agree, I would add that this would seem to "illuminate" an otherwise little known broadcast/channel.
I don't like the smell of this. I watch the international news channels on my FTA system, more than the US "news" type channels, provided on DBS and cable. Censorship is not cool.
Censorship is not cool, neither is state controlled media, such as is found in Iran.
Iran is one of the worst perpetrators of censorship in the world. No big loss in my opinion.
Its official! The united states has banned press tv.

Or as is found in the United States, apparently.
It's nice to see our government continuing to respect the First Amendment of its Constitution...
The most ironic thing about the statement our government put out for its reason behind banning Press TV?

Censorship is complicated in Iran, same as elsewhere. All the Harry Potter books sailed through, their debut in the wee hours corresponded with the custom worldwide -- the release of a new installment was treated as an event. They were later condemned, but they did come in legitimately.
A few years back I bought a DVD directly from the filmmaker in Tehran, it's title, The Jews of Iran. It's an honest portrait of the difficulties of being Jewish in Iran. The Jewish community there numbers 25,000, more or less, depending on whose estimate. Anyway, the filmmaker had no trouble making his documentary, he just couldn't show it in his country. But he could sell it online. Go figure. Being in the US means my payment went through the Netherlands. I dutifully called my government to make sure I was permitted to buy this DVD from Iran, and was told, no problem. Maybe I should have gotten that in writing, haha.
We have had odd censorship rules here too. When I was growing up, Rob and Laura Petrie slept in separate beds on TV. What was that all about? They were married. Since babies came from storks anyway, what would it matter?
Censorship is bizarre. Always.

As I understand it nobody has tramped on anyone's freedom of the press, which by the way is only guaranteed in the U.S., not elsewhere in the world.
That organization still publishes and broadcasts online and elsewhere.
Broadcasting on a satellite is a different matter, those satellites are privately owned, PressTV does not have a right to use them.
I would hardly call state controlled media "press", more like a propaganda machine, kinda like MSNBC.
Bottom line, they don't have a right to broadcast on a privately owned satellite. You can still view PressTV online in the U.S., so by definition it has not been censored.
Maybe they'll get on another satellite. True on the propaganda machine ....FOX is another example of that. They pretty much all are anymore. Hard to find an organization that reports un-biased news. That's why I watch from as many sources as possible, & draw my own conclusions. Losing Press TV just made it one less source.hags said:
sounds like the mux that has KTV in it (KTV1,2,3)
