Is this promo being broadcast on the channel at 13e?
No, still EBU bars from the Courtyard SPG for now.

I'm expecting promos to go up 48 hours before launch, the launch information should go up earlier to coincide with the press release - which IIRC is due later today.

I'm told the web streams will go up in the next couple of days too, so you will be able to watch the build up even if you don't have a dish pointing the right way.

Take a look. Enjoy!

Clips of studio, graphics, everything! Looks as though they've been up to lots of pilots. As has been said, an announcement is anticipated very soon. Very impressed!

Looks good, really really good.
Seems to me that, while BBC World News is becoming more and more an all news channel, BBC Persian will host many programmes that are more related to the culture and entertainment sphere rather than news.

Can't wait for it next Wednesday. I'll try and put up a satellite soon so I'm ready to watch on Wednesday. The times are 13.30-21.30 GMT.

An article and the same video as before are on the BBC Persian website.

What a great studio as well.

Would I be right in thinking that the studio window is the longer horizontal one on the front of the new wing of Broadcasting House? If so, not a bad spot to be!

BBC Arabic's not available in the EU unfortunately so I doubt we'll get Persian either

Is that a real window or a projection? I can't really tell from the pictures Confused Studio looks nice though.

I think it may be the real window. If you look at the picture of BH, the second window down from the top has the same style windows as in the Persian set.

I do like the studio though, it seems as if they have two seperate studios like BBC Arabic. One main one with the desk, newswall and another which has the gallery in the background.

Surely it must be real. It's a bit clearer in this picture - the window panels match up perfectly with those in the studio.
