Help Save U.S.-Based National Iranian TV!; Pro-Democracy and Anti-Terrorist, U.S.-Based National Iranian Television Begs Expatriates and U.S. Citizens for Financial Help to Continue Broadcasting.


WHO:      National Iranian Television (NITV), a Woodland Hills-based
          independent 24-hour Persian TV station, the first to
          broadcast uncensored news to Iran on U.S. soil, is in danger
          of being shut down.

WHAT:     After subsidizing NITV out of their own pockets for over
          five years, Zia Atabay, famed Iranian rock star and featured
          guest on such shows as "60 Minutes," "Crossfire," and CNN,
          plus his wife, Parvin, will have to close in less than two
          months due to lack of funds.

WHEN:     Threatened on a daily basis by those locally and in the
          Middle East who are not pro-democracy for Iran, NITV
          programming includes round-the-clock analysis of
          U.S./Iranian talks on nuclear weapons plus other pertinent
          issues affecting expatriates in the U.S. and around the
          world.

HOW:      We are appealing to local U.S. news organizations to help
          make NITV's plight known to those in the community. Anything
          you can do to help is much appreciated.
