We all know that Iran has one of the highest urban population growth rates in the world. From 1950 to 2002, the urban proportion of the population increased from 27% to 60%. The United Nations predicts that by 2030 80% of the population will live in urban areas. Most internal migrants have settled near the cities of Tehran, Isfahan, Ahvaz, Shiraz and Qom. Tehran, with a population of 10.2 million (2014 census), is the largest city in Iran and is the nation’s capital. Tehran is home to around 7% of Iran’s population which is around 85 million. It is the hub of the country’s communication and transport networks.

Unfortunately in the past 10 years the only company who was doing the survey in Iran was IPSOS, which never had an accurate reports because of the below fault in surveying:


 * 1) The survey scale was less than 5,000 people.
 * 2) # The categories of scaling were always the same. (same age, same city, same person)
 * 3) The main target of the survey was selling to media agencies instead of accuracy focus.

Finally in 2015, based on the current president of Iran request, a report generated by government. The goal of this report was to find the main issues of local TV station and the reason of their failure in competing with satellite channels.
