History

The idea of establishing a media and television industry was conceived in late 1958 by the privately set-up national education commission, with the support of then-President Field Marshal Ayub Khan.[1] In 1964, Syed Wajid Ali launched a television industrial development project, and brought in electrical engineer Ubaidur Rahman of Pakistan Broadcasting Corporation (PBC) as the project director of the first television programme.[1] Ali established a private television broadcasting company with the cooperation of Nippon Electric Company (NEC) of Japan and Thomas Television International of Great Britain.[1]

In 1963, at a public meeting chaired by President Ayub Khan, the government decided to launch a television industry in the country.[1] Since 1963, its headquarters have been located in Islamabad. From 1961–62, a television headquarters was established in Lahore, and Rahman's team made several pilot transmission tests, while many television divisions were established throughout Pakistan, including in East Pakistan, now Bangladesh.[1] 'PTV Home' operations building is situated at H-9 sector, Islamabad, Pakistan.[2]
