Ayub Khan inaugurated the first official television station
commencing transmission broadcasts from Lahore.
3. How did Private TV Channels Emerged in Pakistan?
Surprisingly, the free electronic media in Pakistan was initiated
by a dictator General Musharraf. in March 2002, he decided to set
up Pakistan Electronic Media Regulator Authority (PEMRA) with a
view to facilitate, license and regulate the growth of electronic
media in the private sector.

WAS FORMED TO "FACILITATE AND PROMOTE A FREE, FAIR AND INDEPENDENT
ELECTRONIC MEDIA. BASICALLY IT ALLOWS ALL CABLE OPERATORS TO
BROADCAST CHANNELS ACCORDING PEMRA PERMISSION. ISSUED 91 SATELLITE

5. WHY PRIVATE TV CHANNELS WERE STARTED IN PAKISTAN ? Social
Needs of Society The transmission on Pakistan Television was
designed initially to capture the audiences interest but later on
the dull style of presentation lost the Public interest. Lack of
out door coverage and low budgeting made the programs less
attractive.
6. POLITICAL NEEDS OF SOCIETY Strict Govt. Control on Public
sector TV The transmission of PTV was under strict control of Govt.
leading to the absence of diverse view points on media, TV was just
a watchdog to the interests of Govt. No TV news channels in
mainstream media To maintain the audience`s opinion in its favor
Govt. did not allow news transmission from any private electronic
media in Pakistan leading to the dependency of masses on Public
sector Electronic media.
7. TECHNICAL NEEDS OF SOCIETY Terrestrial hegemony of public
service TV Lack of community based transmission Neglecting
different genres of Programming

35. Positive aspects of private channels Variety of information
and entertainment Helpful in to get awareness of people like in
politics, current affairs and also our society. The film industry
of Pakistan was not stable as contrary to the India. Pakistani
audience was expose to propaganda of Indian movies. So, in that
case private channels became helpful to bring the entertainment in
peoples home. 24 hours transmission. To get employment for
people.
36. Negative aspects of private channels Indian shows on
private channels of Pakistan Indian channels were blocked by PEMRA
and we saw the officials condemning the broadcast of Indian
Channels in the country, declaring them as a threat to the
integrity and culture of Pakistan. Amazingly, now that the audience
has converge its interests from the Indian stories to the Local
content, the private, reowned channels are now airing the same, I
repeat, the same Indian shows through their platform.
