Press TV has created a new YouTube page weeks after Google disabled the alternative channel's access to its official YouTube page without giving explanation.
"Press TV viewers can now watch our videos atwww.youtube.com/user/PresstvNewsCast ," said Press TV newsroom director, Hamid Reza Emadi, adding that tens of thousands of Press TV subscribers had been unable to watch the videos on the popular video sharing site since July 25.

YouTube's parent company Google "disabled our official page's account citing a violation of terms of services, but clarified neither the nature of the so-called violation nor did it mention the services in question," Emadi added, stressing that Press TV will continue its efforts to get back on its official page on the popular video sharing site.

Last week, YouTube told Press TV that the channel's account had become reactivated.

"The account appears to be active (now) and you should be able to access it," wrote The YouTube Team in response to Press TV's online queries. However, Press TV's YouTube team was unable to access the channel's official YouTube page, whose Google account remained "disabled".

Meanwhile, an article on the official website of the Israeli-American Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has accused Press TV of bypassing the West's sanctions by broadcasting live via Youtube and other internet and mobile platforms.

"ADL has contacted Youtube regarding concerns about Press TV," reads the article, further noting that the station's "broadcast on Youtube comes at the a time when the United States, the European Union and others in the international community are seeking to isolate Iran."

"Press TV has yet to find out whether there's a link between the ADL statement and the blocking of its official YouTube page," Emadi said.
