Iran’s state-run television organization known as the IRIB is profiled in a new report (pdf) from the DNI Open Source Center.
The rather massive IRIB employs an estimated 46,000 persons, according to the OSC report, and has a reported budget of $900 million.

The unclassified OSC report has not been approved for public release, but a copy was obtained by Secrecy News. See “Structure of Iran’s State-Run TV IRIB,” Open Source Center, December 16, 2009.
