GEM TV (Persian: جم تی‌وی) is a group of Persian-language entertainment satellite channels. Its headquarters is located in Istanbul, Turkey. This group also launched various channels in Arabic, Kurdish and Turkic to expand its viewers.

History

GEM Television commenced work in 2006, owned and managed by GEM Group ("General Entertainment and Media Group"). GEM Group was established in 2001.

Quality

GEM Group's wide range of content is observed in either SD (standard definition) or HD (high definition) and it is broadcast on satellite companies such as Hotbird, Yahsat, Nilesat and Galaxy. GEM Group was the first to supply its audience with HD-quality programs through its free-to-air satellite channels; in addition it had created GEM Online hence making GEM TV, the number one media company in the Persian-speaking region to allow its viewers and enthusiasts to follow all programs online.

GEM Group has eighteen prominent channels and four active subsidiary companies.[when?][1]

Current programs

GEM's current programming consists of movies, documentaries and acquired programs and shows like America's Got Talent and The X Factor. GEM also airs dubbed Turkish TV series such as Magnificent Century, Kuzey Güney, Fatmagül'ün Suçu Ne? and Merhamet. All of the programs are either dubbed or subtitled in Persian.[2][3]

Assassination of Saeed Karimian

On the 29th April 2017 Director of the GEM Group, Saeed Karimian, was assassinated in Istanbul. Tasnim News Agency, which is close to Iran Revolutionary Guards, had accused him of formerly being a member of the People's Mujahedin of Iran. Jam News, another news agency close to Iran's government, referred to GEM as "The most destructive anti-culture media" when reporting the incident. Some suggest that he was killed by Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps although it is not credible. [4]
