PMC (shortened from Persian Media Corporation or Persian Music Channel) is a free-to-air satellite TV network owned by Persian Media Corporation with its headquarters in Dubai Media City. It was launched in May 9, 2003.[1] The network is devoted to Persian music videos from ex-pat Iranian singers, as well as Iranian singers based in Iran.

Arabic, Kurdish and Turkish hit songs are also shown on the network.

The channel is also widely viewed in Iran, Europe, Middle East, Central Asia and Northern Africa via free-to-air satellite.

Since March 2017 the broadcasting via Hotbird is closed. In April 2017 PMC opened a new broadcasting frequency via Astra and called it "PMC Europe". PMC Europe is now in Test mode and broadcasts only in HD.
