SUBJECT: TEL AVIV TVROY
REF: FBIS 27209 DTD D4 MAY 88Y
DELAYS ON TEL AVIV TVRO AUTHORIZED IN REF. PLEASE UPDATE STATUS ON
INSTALLATION OF DISH.Y
2. INTEREST IN THIS STEMS PARTIALLY FROM ONGOING EFFORTS TO
PROVIDE SOME RELIEF FOR NICOSIA'S PERSIAN/ARMENIAN MONITOR WHO IS
HEAVILY INVOLVED IN IRAN COVERAGE DUE TO SITUATION IN GULF AND IN
ONGOING UNREST IN ARMENIAN SSR. IRANIAN TELEVISION USES KU-BAND ON
SAME 66E INTELSAT TURKISH TELEVISION IS ON. WOULD
WORKLOAD ALLOW HIM TO ADD SOME IRANIAN TELEVISION COVERAGE ONCE DISH
IS IN PLACE AND OPERATIONAL? THIS WOULD HAVE TO BE COORDINATED WITH
NICOSIA, BUT MIGHT PROVIDE SOME TEMPORARY RELIEF WHILE LONGER-TERM
SOLUTIONS ARE WORKED OUT.
