IRIB UHD

IRIB UHD is a Persian-language television channel operated by the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting Organization, commonly known as IRIB. It is positioned within Iran’s state broadcasting system as a channel focused on ultra-high-definition television, including 4K-resolution programming. The channel began operating in November 2020 and is described as the first Persian-language television channel to broadcast in 4K resolution. Its launch represented an expansion of IRIB’s technical television offering beyond conventional high-definition and standard-definition services, with an emphasis on higher-resolution video production and transmission. The channel’s identity is closely tied to IRIB rather than to an independent commercial media company. IRIB owns and manages the service, and the channel operates primarily for the Iranian domestic market. Public reference material identifies Abolfazl Salehi as the channel’s manager. No independently documented private ownership, stock-market listing, financial disclosures, or international commercial footprint are established in the supplied sources. As an ultra-high-definition channel, IRIB UHD’s core offering is television content presented in 4K or other ultra-high-definition formats when technically available. The available reference material does not provide a complete program schedule, detailed genre breakdown, distribution map, subscriber figures, or a full account of the channel’s production facilities. Accordingly, IRIB UHD is best characterized as a specialized technology-oriented television service within IRIB’s broader national broadcasting portfolio. Its principal significance is its role in introducing Persian-language 4K television under Iran’s public broadcasting system.

IRIB UHD was established within the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting Organization as part of IRIB’s move toward higher-resolution television distribution. The channel began operating in November 2020. Its launch made it the first Persian-language television channel identified in the available reference material as broadcasting in 4K resolution, giving it a distinct technical role within Iran’s television landscape. Rather than operating as an independent commercial broadcaster, IRIB UHD belongs to the state-owned IRIB system. Its development therefore reflects the technical evolution of Iran’s public broadcasting infrastructure and the introduction of ultra-high-definition capability into Persian-language television. The channel’s main market is Iran, and its programming is understood primarily as a domestic television service delivered through IRIB’s broadcasting framework. The available sources provide limited information about the channel’s exact launch process, transmission technologies, program schedule, production operations, distribution platforms, or audience performance. They do identify Abolfazl Salehi as its manager. No documented changes of ownership, mergers, acquisitions, financial results, major controversies, or international expansion are established in the supplied material. On the available evidence, IRIB UHD remains a specialized IRIB channel whose defining characteristic is the provision of Persian-language television in ultra-high-definition formats.
