According to the foundations of the Islamic Revolution, as well as the statements of Imam Khomeini (RA), the guidelines of the Supreme Leader and the laws and regulations related to Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, the necessity of coordination and adaptation of the programs of this influential and comprehensive media to Islamic thought and values is not hidden from anyone. But now, thinkers and theologians criticize the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting programs and consider them in some cases heterogeneous and sometimes in conflict with Islamic principles and values. This article seeks to identify and analyze the inconsistencies between Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting programs and Islamic beliefs and ethics, as well as discover solutions for correcting it, from the viewpoint of religious and media experts. In the theoretical framework of this research, the main theories in the field of religion and media are used, and the method used is the qualitative technique of in-depth interviews with thinkers in this field. In this way, detailed interviews have been conducted with 12 professors and experts in the field of religion and media. From their viewpoint, a series of heterogeneity between television programs in 4 main axes of media functions, have been extracted and corrective solutions have been proposed according to each of them.
