FARSI1 was the first international free-to-air Persian-language general entertainment channel. It was based in Dubai.
FARSI1 is operated by Broadcast Middle East, a Moby Group company owned by Saad Mohseni
The channel is managed by Sina Valiollah, who used to be a host and producer years back in Iran.
From 8 June 2013, FARSI1 will be renewed with new (mostly American) shows (like Modern Family & White Collar) and from September 2014, FARSI1 is also airing some of the Turkish TV series, like Feriha, Kurt Seyit ve Şura and Valley of the Wolves.
In April 2014, the network announced that they will only be available through Yahsat and will be leaving Hotbird.
Since 31 December 2016 the network was discontinued, due to decreasing views.
