Manoto1 (Persian: من و تو ۱, English: Me and You) is an international free-to-air Persian-language general entertainment channel launched in October 2010 that is owned by Marjan TV corporation, which is established by Kayvan and Marjan Abbassi with Rupert Murdoch's Financial support, It is based in London and its programs include documentaries, films, series, news and reports.
It has outstripped its closest rivals, BBC Persian, Farsi 1, GEM TV and Voice of America (VOA), according to the number of "likes" each channel receives on its Facebook page. As of April 2013, Manoto has had nearly 1.25 million likes on Facebook, twice as many as the BBC’s Persian. Manoto's viewership rates are difficult to determine; however, anecdotal reports about the channel's ubiquitous popularity suggests that it has gained rapidly in market share to rival more established satellite channels like BBC Persian and VOA Farsi. According to a BBC report in 2008, these channels may be watched by at least 30 percent of households inside Iran.[4]
