Well, instead of trying to resurrect an old thread, I thought I'd mention a few more interesting finds on this satellite. Hopefully, Globecast will keep the free channels on the air when the new year comes around. So, in addition to watching Three's Company late nights on Zarin TV, here's a few other catches:
AZTV from Azerbaijan had Tom and Jerry cartoons around 2 a.m. Eastern time last week. Dubbed into Azeri made little difference, as those cartoons contained very little dialogue
ESTV from Ethiopia was playing some sort of Science Fiction movie from the UK (no dubbing) around 11 p.m. last month.
Oman TV recently began to air "Mythbusters" in the late evening hours. Unfortunately, it is heavily dubbed into Arabic, so this might be a better catch on Netflix.
The rebranded "i-Movie 2" from Iran has movies and series dubbed into English, but I haven't yet found anything that has caught my interest.
Ebru TV continues to offer interesting programming and truly competes with Kuwait TV 2 for my attention these days.
As stated by others, Al Etejah English is staring to lessen the pain from AJE's disappearance from North America. English news and documentaries will make you take a second look.
Often overlooked, CNC English news has interesting social pieces in their news hour. I once caught them doing a segment in the Georgia town where they film that popular zombie series.
Simaye Azadi, a UK Farsi language station, has been known to occasionally air English language series and movies.
That's all for tonight. I promise to upload the updated channel guide by the weekend (Christian channel "Sat 7" is scheduled go live next week, so I've included that). Have you found any interesting programs while surfing 97W lately? Share 'em with us again
