This is a list of television stations available in Pakistan:

History

Before 2000, these were limited to the State-run PTV, PTV World and Channel 3, but a newly-introduced open media policy caused many new private channels to spring up over the years. These initially stole away nearly all of the PTV-Network market while the initial hype lasted, but soon audiences were shunning even these channels for lack of quality, finally settling on either Indian channels, or Western channels. However, over the time some Pakistani channels have been able to produce a sizable amount of decent programs. GEO, being one of the most viewed TV channels in Pakistan, with an estimated audience of over 10 million every day. Nowadays, it is generally acknowledged that PTV's market has been reduced to almost nil, except for people in the rural areas of Pakistan were they cannot afford cable or satellite TV. However, quality of these channels need to be developed to meet standards of Western channels. It is this very acknowledgment that led a cartel of Pakistani private channels to lobby to PEMRA (Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority) to ban Indian channels and some Western channels, as the Pakistani channels were losing advertising revenue too.
