Jebeli’s reaction to the billion-dollar cost of inviting celebrities to programs is that the expenses for programs are typically covered under a general contract with the producer and financial supporter of the network.
Peyman Jebeli, the head of the Iranian Broadcasting Organization, said that program expenses are usually covered under a general network contract with the producer and financial supporter, and the details of the contracts are not in the possession of this organization. We do not agree with unreasonable payments and incorrect procedures that were prevalent in previous periods of broadcasting and are gradually being corrected.
He added that for this reason, based on initial feedback this year, we saw an increase of more than 8% in the audience of New Year programs compared to last year.
