Fortunately, they have other options. They can still follow Press TV easily online 24-hours a day.
UK viewers have more propaganda polluting their airwaves. On October 25, Russia Today (rt.com) headlined "EU hypocrisy? Anti-Tehran channel launches in London amid ban on Iranian state TV," saying:
Britain's latest propaganda channel "comes just over a week after 19 state-run Iranian TV and radio stations were banned in the EU."
Raha's founder, Amir Hossein Jahanshahi, is an Iran expat billionaire businessman. He's a venture capitalist and property developer. He accumulated much of his wealth in Spain and France. He likely got it the old-fashioned way. Behind every fortune is a great crime.
About a decade ago, he became politically active. His father was Shah Reza Pahlavi's finance minister.
He told RT he wants to "decapitate the current regime." UK authorities granted him public airwaves space to spread anti-Iranian hate across Britain. Eutelsat carries him on satellite to pollute all 27-member EU states.
He founded Iran's so-called "Green Movement." Following Iran's June 2009 elections, protests and clashes erupted. Washington very likely was involved. So was Jahanshahi. He's pro-Western. He wants Iran's government toppled for his own self-interest. Tehran accused him of sedition.
He claims he's financing Raha entirely on his own. Perhaps he can do it, but don't bet UK and other Western interests aren't involved.
